Muse/Prayer Medley

(hoping that wisp of red ribbon in the sunrise means rain!)

July's parade of scorching days has parched the land 

For days we miss

And ways we wish

Some things would change for good

For dawn that spills

Across yon hills

And over field and wood

For bread to break

And head to shake

When we choose not to speak

For hands to hold

And wands of gold

To give our blues a tweak

For much, much woe

And touch to show

The words we cannot find

For doors that fling

O’er shores that ring

With more than daily grind

For beauty’s bliss

And duty’s kiss

And summer’s sunny laud

For thorn and rose

For morn that glows

We trust and thank-you God

I shared verse nine of  Psalm 36 a few days ago but

there is so much more before and after...

here is a bit of the before

 Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the skies.
⁶ Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
    your justice like the great deep.
    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.
⁷ How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
⁸ They feast on the abundance of your house;
    you give them drink from your river of delights.
⁹ For with you is the fountain of life;
    in your light we see light.
