Dawn & Dusk

I bury Your Word
In my heart
And trust that its growth
Will soon start

Seasons of drought
Scar my soul
Careless words
Trample my soil

Lies and fears
Gather like pests
These worms and beetles
Tear my leaves to shreds

Then winter comes
With paralysing ice
Snow drifts and avalanches
Dark and terrible nights

But when I sit
In Your presence
Fresh rain falls
With a wonderful fragrance

And by the eyes
Of faith that you give
I see that this tree
Will someday live
