SLAM!

I sat one night out in the cold-
I sat, hurt, alone with none,
As I lifted up my head to you,
I wondered if I might grow old
Praying for your comfort, Holy One,
So my strength just might shine through.

Gazing up through thick trees’ cover
I wondered how long I’d sit
While awaiting rescue or death,
And I turned to you as would a lover.
For I knew the nights grew thick.
And perhaps I would release my breath
Never to return.

Turning back into the night,
The darkness swallowed me
Along with any hope I had once carried strong,
Of leaving this place without a fright,
While sitting beneath that tree.
It was then I realized- with you I must belong.

But in the morning the sun did break,
The first light of welcomed day.
I looked out over the hills
Hoping it wasn’t fake-
‘Had I died?’ I wondered, please Lord tell me ‘nay.’
Yet I walked away that day, with nothing more than chills.
So I thank you Lord, for otherwise, I may have never learned.
