On the rocks Out of the buffeting seas you plucked me; on the Rock you placed me. Your waves of grace softly cleanse; I would and could stay here forever. The soothing sounds of your love serve only to encourage my longing; but on the shore there are those who point to my predicament. I motion to them. Share my peace; share the grace that is freely given. They perceive my actions as fool-hearted floundering... and if I scream I know they will not hear me. So I dive in. I will go and get them.

"and if I scream I know they will not hear me. So I dive in. I will go and get them." Perfect -- just perfect. This poem with so much feeling, so many dimensions, and this a beautiful way to tie it all together. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Atta girl...but, sigh... horses and troughs come to mind... but at least you try to show them where grace is to be found... and you do it, very well. |

Here I come - I'm diving in, too. Now that we know the strength (and the love that comes with it) of the Rock what else can we do but help to rescue someone else? “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson [This message has been edited by El_Campeador (08-13-2003 03:14 PM).] |
