I think I was asleep, perhaps not altogether since I did kick my feet in womb’s “comfort” weather Guarded and cradled surrounded by Love feeling the Great World sometimes give a shove Yes, I had Sleep to the day of my Birth Then, challenge and trauma as I passed through to Earth What did I find? So much to tell Excitement and Life outside that safe cell Yes, they called this my Birth to explore a New Land where early you crawl and later you stand For me there were long years, for others – so brief Here also I’ve slept some but now feel Restless Feet Prepare now for new Birth beyond a new Wall my eyes just as closed, not seeing at all Now I wish I could wish [i] for the New World beyond hope tickling of feet will send me where I Belong [ii] (2020s) [i] Psalm 130:5,6 – “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits and I hope for his word. My soul looks for the Lord more than sentinels for daybreak.” [ii] Psalm 42: 1,2 – “As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When can I enter and see the face of God?” Comments are closed.
