By a friend
When over the rail bridge
on the sky autumn blue
clouds floated in cotton pieces

I longed for home.

The port light tower
and the masts of anchored ships
made me keen to reach home
like a sailor long on the sea
disembarking with dreamy eyes
thinking if at all is one home
a tender lip awaiting his sunburned cheek
or if he would retrace to the waves
and someone waiting was only in his head.

I was at Remount Road an old station
with home not really that far
and disproportionately small to my yearning.

I was making a brisk walk
and when at the door
fell into a reverie of
rail bridge
anchored ships on the port
white on the autumn blue
and the small station
Remount Road.
Timid.
Fearful.
Insecure.
Afraid to speak.
Afraid to act.
Afraid sometimes to take a stand.
But then...
But then...
The Eternal One,
Mighty and Strong.
Takes hold of her hand.
And teaches her how to sing His song.
The Song of the Lion.
Phil 4:13 says: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." There was also a song in the late 80's by Pat Benatar called "The Lion's Song."  I've always liked it. :)
