A Bold and Gentle Rain Resounds

O Lord forgive the sins of my mind,
tortures of the brain,
my ears’ inflamed with blasphemies,
my eyes with sordid violence.

Open the heavens, Lord.
Encircle me with a halo of purity-doves,
with peace beyond understanding,
with the gentle and overflowing love of Christ.

My eyes, like a clear day
and ears filled with birdsong, sweet.
My mind riveted on the words of life
my brain reborn, like a ruddy infant.

Wise words form seeded clouds.
A bold and gentle rain resounds.
My feet walk on the waters -
a path well-lit by my Savior. Christ blesses
his decisive people in a crescive lifeboat.
