Remembering a song


After 2 Samuel 22
 

I remember a song

I sang before, long before,

a song to celebrate,

a song to remember

my rescue ar a time

of peril, a time

of disaster, a time

when my life seemed

over. Yet it wasn’t.

I sang a song

of deliverance, a song

of rescue, a song

of salvation, a song

of redemption fom

disaster. I sang

the song then;

I sing the song

now.

I cast a crown


I cast a crown
upon a glassy sea,
a crown given me
for something undeserved.
I cast a crown,
gently, so that neither
the crown nor the sea
would break, or fracture,
or shatter, or crack
into infinity. The crown
slid along the glassy sea,
losing momentum
until it came to rest
against a glassy wave.
Only then did I see
that the sea and the sand
were the same.
