sandstone

“To you, O LORD, I call;

   my rock, do not refuse to hear

         me,”  Psalm 28:1a

when i find offering

my soul to others

is like talking to a

      brick wall,

you are sandstone,

holding our tears and fears,

our hopes and hurts

      like a sponge,

filtering them into

gentle drops of grace.
