Reflections
Unsettled in myself
I get up early,
make my way
along cold streets
to see the thin mist rising on the lake.
Leaning on the bridge, I find
another Monet morning,
palette stippled echoes
of trees on trees
of reeds on reeds
in glassy world
of stillness
You're used to early meetings by a lake,
another time, another place.
In kairos time, Your timeless time,
my heart's eye sees You come
as if You walk towards me
in the curving wake of swan
Transfused by loving touch
that countless others know,
I'm soothed, restored,
freed to go,
free to see
through clearing mists
another day
as shining gift.
