though the earth give way,

if there is one thing that
i have learned
about You
it is that
You are mysterious-
and your ways are mysterious.
You dwell with man
in the silence
and in the storm.
He knows you while
wandering through the dark
and living beside the dawn.
in truth-
i have been torn
and healed
by the same hand,
and still call You
"Friend".

no harbor exists
here
save for
Thy will
be done.
