Homage to the Sun’s Warmth
Oh ye Sun
Hail the power of your gentle glow
That even this lake could thaw!
A lifetime of winter
Face cracked from lack of tears
Frozen deeper and deeper
With every turning of winter
Who could believe in Spring
after so many winters?
Heaven’s angels dance
in the halo of your glow.
Each delicate ray of your warmth
gently touching the surface of ice so deep
touch… touch… touch…
Til something
deep beneath the ice
longed
longed for warming
longed for coming to life
so simple
life taken one breath at a time
life where water can rest still…
or dance with fish, as it pleases
This touch so tender
that warms the surface
and reaches life beneath the surface
through God’s gracious mercy
The waters turn
And allow that grace to warm
first the top
then the bottom
then the top again
turning
and beginning the movement
of life
The rhythm births the lake
coming into it’s own warmth
At last letting the last piece of ice
melt…
Now resting this cool lake
So pure
With water to refresh the weary traveller
and that birds may stop to bathe
and all wild things may drink
How miraculous this Spring!
Lake bows to the mercy of the Great Sun
so powerful in it’s gentle warmth
May we lift up our hands with joy
to the gentleness
that warms and invokes life!
May we do her honour
By loving…
An ever flowing fount of love
for all.
