I pray not
for Him
to expedite
my wishes;
I wait not
for Him
to do
what I can.
His timing
I keep
full faith in
and ask
to know
my part
in His
perfect plan.

When I feel called to the water,
I do not hesitate.
I trust in the inner urges
that so subtly pull me toward my fate,
less Moirai, more the plan of one God supreme;
nonetheless, the benevolent forces of nature
like a current
I feel
running beneath the surface of me.
Upon arrival this time,
what do I see
but a rainbow
to confirm
God is speaking
to me,
and the colors
though fleeting
will forever reside
inside,
transfixed upon the eye
of my mind,
as a reminder
never to question
His timing.
Rainbow from the hose,
thank you for appearing;
I need you
to reassure me
that these dreams
I keep secret
in my heart
are worth keeping,
that they will come true
if I do my part
and never stop
believing
there is a pot of gold
out there
meant for me.
