Job 14:1-14, Psalm 31, 1-4, 15-16, 1 Peter 4:1-8, Matthew 27:57-66
Written in May 2017 and based upon John 6:1-21, this poem may resonate with the very strange times we are sharing this Holy Week:
Sensing the Presence
How do you sense the presence
of the Great I Am
in the midst of the chaos
in the tempestuous uncertainty
that arrives unannounced,
uninvited?
—
When direction is lost,
uncharted and disoriented
and there can be no reference to an unseen horizon.
—
When, shocked to the marrow,
sightless
yet bound by tasks – which
may or may not be invaluable –
the one genuine aim is to remain
attentive.
And in the focussing find
you have been found.
