~ Yes-Lord glean- ~
~~~ the fields. For- ~~~
~ Your benignity is my ~
only-refuge; cull-what is
left, loose-tamped-down-
broken, exposed ... raw-and
~ stripped; because willing; I ~
~ lay-here-open; find in me all ~
~~~~~~~~ that is good. ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The dry-Summer sun; has beaten-
upon-me, Fall-winds have raged, left
their burden upon me and heavier-rains-
~ still, have-washed-a-way-at-my-soul; so-
~ much-so, that-now nothing-can-grow, and ~
now I long for a time, days-when I-was bountiful;
~ this-season-has-brought-me-to-want for nothing ~
more; but-the-pleasure, of-your-favor, because-patient,
~~ humble and reverent, honest, resting quietly I know ~~
~ that genuine innocence remains willing lying open full and ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ aware thriving in its infancy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~ Restore-my-faith in-such things-these miracles; secure me ... ~~~
~~~~~ allow for me this gentle repose, cover me-in-Winters- ~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~ cloak; provide for me a full recovery; ~~~~~~~~~
~~~~ cultivate-me-with-love yes let Your peace-embrace- ~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~ me in-the-Spring; sew in me, a ~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~ fertile-field. Sun warm me, rains, ~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~ return nurture me, so-honest- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~ winds may scatter forth new ~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~ seed; and others, may come ~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~ again ... reap a crop of- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ blessings pure-and- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sweet and-blossom- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ for all the world- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~ around them ... -~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to see. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
