Meditations on God

Waves of uncertainty
crash upon me
battering me against
the reef of doubt
and despair
the winds of wordly desires
toss me to and fro
driving me back
to the shores of emptiness
and familiarity
but you call me forth
into the vast unknown
if only I will walk in faith
upon the waters of love
floating upon a promise
once made and never broken
