Dancing in the Sea

Sea of Desolation

By Julie Meyer-Weber, November 6, 2010

Swimming in the sea of desolation

Undercurrents, tugging, sucking, pulling me down into murky waters.

Swimming in the sea of desolation

Trying to understand what to pray.

Lord, you can see me through the slime and darkness of these waters.

You can recreate how I breathe.

I can live in these dark spaces fighting the pull of a downward destination

Or Lord you could pull me to the sun, the clouds the space where eagles soar.

I would prefer a victory of deliverance

I do not desire to make my abode in this murky sea.

Whether you recreate how I live

Or give me a victory of light

I will praise you for who you are

I will give you the song in the night.
