God-storm

Your mercy pierces me, O amazing God
Lightning flash, through my ego’s last defences,
Silent thunder of my tears.

I drown in the torrents
Of a love I cannot understand
Learning a new breathing.

You wash away
The feeble excuses,
The crippling words of blame,
The barren years
When promises were stopped.

Now in the clouds
I see the rainbow of your constant care
Your covenant of wonder wraps me round
In glory I do not yet understand.

And my parched heart opens
Thirsty .. drinking ..
Nourishing your planting:
You, in me.
