Everpresent
Forever does unchanging love remain,
upholding grace and freedom in its wings,
I lonely and abandoned may appear,
empty of higher purpose or design,
in ignorance and isolation steer
dark images of suffering and fear.
Thus, unmet needs, desires unfulfilled,
and longings melt in fog, then disappear.
While all this mortal picture
emerges with a stinging bite,
ready to overturn the wheel of life,
God lets me hear a whisper,
and stirs my depths as if with trumpet blowing,
that present and protecting
He stands by me,
and I am humbled and amazed
at the working of His mighty hand.
