Faltering Steps

Faltering steps with bare feet,

Slip from one moss covered rock, to another.

Each move wobbly, tentative and unsure.

 

Until finally I falter, falling deep into the river,

submerged surrounded by His love,

an inner resurrection raising me to the surface.

 

I only see sky and feel water of everlasting life,

touching all body, soul searing upwards,

delighting in the sun and light radiating into me.

 

Like a log fire on a cold winter night,

I AM warm, secure, in His nature’s hands

Drifting down towards an eternal sea of love.
