Impatient Sky
Impatient sky take heart and still
Your tears that flood the sandy delta shore
And angry groans that scorch the earth in haste
Your temper’s thrown a roof across the lawn
The One who stretched your arms and set your plane
Now bids your clouded veil be drawn
O restless sea resist your rage
Control your swells that toss those mighty ships
And leave their scattered, busted frames across
The rocky shores your pounding waves have shaped
The on who stirred your currents now proclaims
“Be still the sea and sit in wait”
Imposing glacier not so fast
Before you cut your next destructive course
And leave behind what centuries built up
Now lay in rubble lost in your moraine
The one who froze your movements now implores
Your patience as he charts his reign
Your tears that flood the sandy delta shore
And angry groans that scorch the earth in haste
Your temper’s thrown a roof across the lawn
The One who stretched your arms and set your plane
Now bids your clouded veil be drawn
O restless sea resist your rage
Control your swells that toss those mighty ships
And leave their scattered, busted frames across
The rocky shores your pounding waves have shaped
The on who stirred your currents now proclaims
“Be still the sea and sit in wait”
Imposing glacier not so fast
Before you cut your next destructive course
And leave behind what centuries built up
Now lay in rubble lost in your moraine
The one who froze your movements now implores
Your patience as he charts his reign
