In Search of Wings

O my Refuge, my Rock,

where are the eagle’s wings

to raise me up and

bear me on the breath of dawn?

Though the sun shines, I

remain dim in clouds

stretching to reach the

palm of Your Hand

My soul is trapped—

hungry for shelter and

longing for that sacred place

where You abide

Night and day I fear

what the world hurls:

thousands of doubts

and You nowhere near

Shout louder to the angels

for I fear they have not

heard your bid to guard me

and to rest me in your Psalms

O my Shield, my Stronghold,

You who know my name,

seek me and beckon me

with a song of deliverance

Tempus sanandi: it is You

who chooses a time to heal;

though I weep and mourn, I

trust in the Lord of the Dance
