There is no one solution
To our dissolution
We desire an endless peace
Communion
A settling, a smoothing out
A relief from the dints of every slight sound and thought
That keep us wakeful
The small, subconscious bumps
These peas hidden, prodding
Bruising even through piles of featherdown
Keeping us turning,
Over and over
Most placed unwittingly
Through no fault of others, or our own
Of sabotage we will not speak.
We cannot blame You
When sunset and sunrise follow one another
Only by Your bidding, and Your love
Is the rhythm by which we rise and fall
In spite of agony I know
Your sweetness
Soft, steady
I cannot help but worship, discounting pain
At this, I am still more in awe
And praising You, cannot help
But rest
Even here, in my displaced state
I love You more.
