gift: on friendship
December 22, 2007 by moriahjoy
i wanna believe down to the letter.
-Over the Rhine
–
Your love washes over me
Like the cool waters of a desert spring
Over the rough and tumble rock bed
Smoothing, softening, caressing
Flooding the nooks and crannies.
Past bruises from those before
Carried away.
Lost in your ocean
I drown.
–
God never ceases to amaze me, delight me, bless me, when I least deserve it, when I’m least expecting it, and I laugh with joy, joy I cannot contain, joy that spills over. My cup overflows.
In a season of giving and getting, I have received the blessing of the gift of self, unadulterated.
Thank you.
