Question Mark– June 09,2011
Not caught off guard
Anything but surprised
Strangely unmoved
I have become jaded
Call came out of the blue
Information flowed
Like a sponge
I absorbed it all
Caught in a calm
Not like a doldrums
In the midst of
A hurricane
More like peace
That passes all
Human understanding
Anticipation
Holding my breath
Awaiting your answer
Exercising free will
Fearful but unafraid
Grounded by an anchor
Holding strong in the depths
My soul stationery
Steadfast in your promises
A future and a hope
Not shallow and fragile
But solid and rooted deep
Safely lying in your eternal hand
Cast all my cares
My worries and questions
Into the spirit wind
That refreshes my soul
You knitted us all
In the secret places
In the creative heart
In the crucible of the I am
I lay this fragile soul
This little future
This unanswered question
At your feet and wait
Bless this choice
Guide these hands
Open this parent’s heart
Grant confidence once again
Step into this unknown
Your hand at my back
Your voice in my ear
And your blessing
Over this tiny life
