While you were waiting,
Every night I set the clouds on the horizon ablaze with pink and orange flames. And when that was over I painted the atmosphere darkest blue and allowed the stars to shine in brilliance. The moon glowed And ran its path It guarded your night. And sheep and cattle slept, confident in My keeping. While you were waiting. While you were waiting, Raindrops fell and watered the ground. Seeds buried deep below burst And their green shoots pushed into the light of day. Hyacinths and daffodils exploded In bright and glorious color. And dreams were captured from My Breath and given shape; Tried on, to determine the best fit. Recognizing their time, they were birthed into being. While you were waiting. While you were waiting, I sang over you. I strengthened your resolve And deepened your knowledge. Compassion and kindness held hands In your heart And ran out of your lips Into waiting ears. And lightened somber moods. And brought hope. While you were waiting. While you were waiting, Holy love words soothed your spirit And old ways of being slipped away. Your hand released the words “demand” and “hurry” And they ceased to be part of your language. Your very heart grew larger Your capacity to love was expanded. A new way of living in the now and the future Had been born. While you were waiting. May grace fill your waiting, Jan
