Calming My Storm

Last night
I was standing beneath the storm tired sky
that leaked
sparkling rain onto my face, and
crystal droplets
to dance in my hair-
when I closed my eyes and smiled
at the rush of pure joy, for the first time
in a long time.
It was an energy
flowing through me
like fire- melting
away the bitterness of
the autumn wind ... or maybe
it wasn't of the wind
at all.
Renewed, I soared
on invisible wings right into Your arms and
here, You've held me
steady all the while. Oh,
if every moment could be like that night!
Sweet Jesus ...
Be my delight
and my
forever Joy.
