Discouragement

Lord,

There is a big Devil called

Discouragement.

We ask you to send him away because he is bothering us.

Haitian Prayer

this day dawns

slowly black turns gray

and gray into shades of whiteness

as winter still rules

and the world is still frozen

snow falls

clouds loom

and yet there are moments

when light breaks through

casting gold

revealing a million diamonds

shimmering

and there awakens

the promise

of spring
