God Song

(Reflection on Mark 4:35-41)

A Poem by Laurence David Sterling III

Out of my despair I cried out.
My anguished sigh was heard
above the tempest that surrounded me.
God heard my prayer
and lifted me from the sinking ship
of my self-reliance.
God pulled me up into Holy arms
and sang to me a love song.
The words that surrounded me
were so sweet and so full of love that,
for a moment,
each note, each phrase,
scampered and danced merrily about
in joyous praise of the All-Mighty
before slipping gently down
to cover me
in a warm security blanket
close to Mama's heart
cradled in Papa's arms.
Back and forth the melody went,
sweeping me to heights of joy
and rushing me to peace
beyond any I had ever known.
True peace, pure love, unbounded joy.
One moment I was sinking in despair,
the next I was snapped
into the peace be still.
Unloved to Beloved.
Typhoon to Tranquility.
Cacophony to Theophany
