visions

“In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.”  Ezekiel 1:1

through those years

of loneliness,

those months of

utter fear,

those days of despair

which never seem to end,

help us to see

your joy in the little

child jumping in puddles,

your wonder in stars

shimmering in night skies,

your arms in the hope

which cradles us

for as long as we need
