    Out of Our Hands

     exposed
    as a tidal-pool starfish
    no mortal danger looms
    yet nearly so, it seems

    clinging
    to blessed faith
    inherited, cultivated, central
    as an anchor through the gale

    waiting
    learning while leaning
    the ways of the waves
    tidal turnings of time, of love

    returning
    with grace and relief
    to the safety (and peril) of
    the vast and patient sea

    knowing
    the tides will turn anew
    frailty lives beside strength
    the phases come in their time

    amen

    Yes, the waters run deeply. Sometimes they scare me, but putting words to paper always clears the waves! Thanks for stopping by and for your comment!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
