Waiting to be Caught…

The goodness of the Lord is all around,
Perhaps at times allusive,
But nonetheless present,
And waiting to be counted.

The goodness of the Lord is all around,
Despite all the distractions,
Noise and blurry vision,
Or moments looking past it.

The goodness of the Lord is all around,
Everywhere and anywhere, I go.
No chaos, nor destruction,
Ever, can surpass it.

Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the stalwart one who takes refuge in the Lord. – Psalm 34:9

You Were There…

There were dancers,
Dancing as they do,
Faces aglow with joy,
Balleting here and there,
Everywhere…

There were singers,
Singing as they do,
Reaching notes both high and low,
In every piece and in each act,
Throughout…

There were actors,
Acting as they do,
More than lines upon a page,
Evoking thought and feeling,
From within…

Beautiful to the eye
And moving to the soul,
Through their feet they worshipped,
Through their words they prayed,
Great strength exercised with ease.

With movements so fluid,
Gentle and precise,
Everywhere and throughout,
From within, there is no doubt,
You were there.

I believe I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. – Ps 27:13
