Notes About The Poem


Psalm 4:8

While I Slept

Even while we sleep...! Let's Press-on

Where did we go…while I slept?
what mountains and rivers…were leapt?
Through what tunnels did we travel...
leaving footprints upon unknown gravel?
What mysteries were revealed...
that You, in Your Wisdom...have concealed?
For, here I find myself awakened
with the drudge of yesterday…forsaken
Yet, so aware...that though I did dream…
there is nothing to remember, it seems
But You were there, Jehovah…in Your Silent Way
infusing with guidance unto another day
And now, duly revived and adept…
I do wonder, where did we go…while I slept?

Psalm 16:7, you captured it. I love His "night ambush" when He speaks into my spirit and "mysteries were revealed", and "infusing with guidance". Joyce, you captured it! Blessings, RJ.
