Waiting

Psalm 62 

Waiting.
My Soul.
Silently.
For God.

as storms batter fortress walls in vain,
as enemies try to bring me down and fail.

Waiting.
My Soul.
Silently.
For God.

trusting the light through a tangled forest,
flickering, small and faithful;
resting beneath an ancient gum as rain
drowns the earth.

Waiting.
My Soul.
Silently.
For God.

while thieves steal through shade
and towers of riches crumble, fade ...

Waiting.
My Soul.
Silently.
For God.

a small voice, still voice, spiderweb-thin power
to hold me safe;
love reaches, kindness teaches, hope
carries the day.

Waiting.
My Soul.
Silently.
For God.
