He Bends Low

He bends low

and meets me here

in my mess

my quiet

my emptiness


He bends low

after my storm

my roar

my wail of lament (and pity)

He touches me


He calls

my name!

words opening a door to hope

the veil falling

my eyes again wide to wonder


He welcomes me

to rest and gratitude

joy and simplicity

right here, right now

in the middle
