Poetry: Simple refuge

4 of 9

by Judith C Evans

Created on: October 02, 2009

Lord,

Remind me

That I can't see that far.

Remind me again

Of floating, of freedom -

Even in the scary places!

Yes, I remember now:

The decision is the agony.

Suspended in "what if,"

Rehearsing disaster,

Measuring chance,

Assessing risk,

Shutting my eyes as tightly

As possible -

All the time not noticing that

I'm nestled in your wounded hand.
