the window seat

Frosted windows and howling winds,

I am so cold, so cold, so cold inside.

Yet the sun penetrates both body and soul,

Rescued, rescued, yet again.

Time stands still and deafening silence,

I am so empty, so empty, so empty inside.

Yet my purring kitty reminds me of a friendship,

Rescued, rescued, yet again.

Dark thoughts and weighty failures,

I am so sad, so sad, so sad inside.

Yet the distant sound of birds is music to my ears,

Rescued, rescued, yet again.

Curtains lifted and a new day dawns,

I am so hopeful, so hopeful, so hopeful inside.

For God’s creation is my constant companion,

Rescued, rescued, yet again.

"God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good."1

1  Genesis 1:31
