Rain

I have been given
many blessings
in my life


Abundant Grace,
in many Myriad forms...


My Gratitude is overflowing

And yet,


I long for 
Liberation 
From this Play of Change

This mad world,
Of pleasure and pain.



You...

Lift up my soul
And Your Divine Light
Chases away the clouds,
that cover this
Mad Warrior's Heart.


So, I will  kneel here,
and rest my head in your arms tonight
Lay my sword and shield 
at your blessed feet.

Hold me close,
Beloved,  


For Tomorrow I will do battle

In a field

Where we once both danced
and laughed
 in
The pouring rain.
