The River
by Major David Laeger
“Deep calls unto deep”
ever increasing the
distance
between Thy heart and mine.
Yet the deeper
we go,
the closer we become,
even as one,
as if my
small tributary
passes into Thy great waters.
What
stones and earth
had marked my undulating path
now joins
the force of Thy might -
a rippling, rushing river
wearing down the stones,
overflowing the earthy banks,
onward, downward
into the fathomless eternal sea
of Thy
love
where all of me is lost in Thee.
Thy Presence
deepens my essence,
and will do so
over and again –
until the vapors lifting from Thy sea
precipitate afresh
upon my soul;
until the stream at last
flows sweetly,
smoothly, deeply
like rivers of water
from my inner
being -
O Lord,
I thirst….
