What a Wonderful Day

It happens.  The world darkens.
You think you can see but the
     clouds get in the way.
A foggy light through cloudy water.
Then beautiful arms reach through
     and grab you.
When you're fighting, clawing, 
     striving, then stop...
They grab you.



And then...
The world stops.
Everything is still. And
     grace envelops you.
The fog clears.
The cloudy water becomes clear.


Then the world brightens.
Peace transfuses chaos.
Inhale slowly, eyes closed,
     head tilted upward, air in through
    the nostrils then back out.
He's here.
God is here!
And He's not going anywhere.
