BEAUTIFUL DISASTER, LIFE

 

BEAUTIFUL DISASTER, LIFE

Beautiful disaster, life

Still we are fortunate to be

Where we may have never been

If not for Thee, beautiful disaster,

Catastrophe

Bridge falling out of the sky

Still you will catch us up,

By the remaining hem of our

Never abandoning angels

Oh Interpreter most Vast

With all your never ending storied stars

Without a luminous,  Word

But what we dream, however faintly inside

From your slightest imprint

Saving us past  the floods And held:

cloud high above 

the rainbowed, receding waters.
