a new day will rise

a new day rises

the earth is freshened

with rains from above

the darkness of the preceding day

retains its hold

but God sees all.

To and fro

He goes as we go

and as our gaze

settles on Him

and Him alone

-- not darting or questioning or

taking too quick action --

another day will rise

tomorrow perhaps

or the next.

the darkness

will not keep us

secluded and fearful.

Our God

who sees

all

and knows

all

our comings and goings

will show us

what He knew

in the beginning.

We see oh so dimly now

as in a mirror

fogged over.

Another new day will rise

the darkness will fade

We will be in the Light

and it will be good.
