Groans

After Romans 8:18-25

The groans we hear

the trees, the rocks,

the mountains, plains,

oceans all in chorus groan

in expectation in hope

the hope for the not seen

for the already not yet

the groaning and hope

fusing in the river

of anticipation, groaning

louder growing louder

to break free

the river to break free

of what has dammed it

of what it cannot overcome

until its time
