Vacant Shadows
2008
rain falls in the foliage
gradually making its way to earth
one leaf to another
a muted patter irresonates the canopy
falling, falling
endless
dream of the black jaguar
haunting the shadows;
yet when you look,
there is nothing
I will sing of Your strength;
in the morning I will sing of Your love,
in the morning I will sing of Your love,
for You are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.
my refuge in times of trouble.
O My Strength, I sing praises to You,
for You, O God, are my defense,
my loving God,
my God of mercy.
for You, O God, are my defense,
my loving God,
my God of mercy.
— Psalm 59:16-17
