Creek, River, Ocean
Tiny rivulets of chaos
converge in the rocky creek
of my discontent.
Confusion tumbles
down the canyon,
coursing into a torrent
that batters the banks
in fury and flood,
until at the canyon’s mouth,
waters spread and slow,
depositing debris and mud.
Turbulence spent,
I reach broad plains
of patience, penitence,
meander clear miles,
water tranquil fields.
Finally, peace, broad and deep
flows into the boundless
ocean of His love.
