growth

I speak in to the easiness of your last kiss

found wanting as the tide begins to drift

it stills me knowing that someday i’ll see

the beauty of love in certainty

in foundations that blossom into gardens of peace

we find growth in the little things, even the weeds.

and i find myself sitting, pondering your love;

resting amidst the restlessness of infidelity,

teasing out the sprouting filth that weighs on me

and deadens me.

as the flowers stretch up to reach your light

and the ocean is pulled to you each night

so i bow and confess your faithfulness

your glory and peace which help me rest

knowing that in you is life alone

and that by your grace you’ll pull me home.

amen.
