Yet I will rejoice.
Despite,
because of,
and through.
I will rejoice.
Whenever and however.
No matter and always.
I will rejoice.
Though empty,
I will be full of your joy.
Though desolate,
I will surround myself with your stories.
Breathless,
I will fill my lungs with your spirit.
Fruitless,
I will obsess in watching for your new seeds.
Hopeless,
I will spin fairy tales out of nightmares.
Lost,
I will call your wilderness my home.
And always
I will rejoice.
on Habakkuk 3:17-18
