DeepRiver2

♪a rhymed, mirrored octet♪
 
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
—Ps. 23:2 KJV

 
when
evening
comes again
l e t   reflections
of Your  sovereignty
penetrate   m y   darkness
so my hungry soul might feed
by the banks of Your deep river
for  You  are  my  Sole  Life-Giver
bind  the  wounds  in  me  that  bleed
when   my  song  is   h a r p l e s s
Y o u r          d  i  v  i  n  i  t  y
m y   a f f l i c t i o n s
soothes like rain
grieving
ends
