Again…and again…and again…and over again, you will experience God’s goodness! Again and again and again you will dance with joy for God’s unfaltering love! Again and again and again God will harvest for you a bounty of grace from life’s hardship! Let this refrain — “again, again, again” — inspire your pen’s prayer.
“Again,again,again,again,again,again,again,again”
the cicadas buzz discordantly.
They are insistent enough
to command a paused ear
in the peak of August.
“Again,again,again,again,again,again,again,again,
let God’s grace soothe you.”
“Again,again,again,again,again,again,again,again,
let God’s strength sustain you.”
“Again,again,again,again,again,again,again,again,
let God’s magnificence unsettle you.”
“Again,again,again,again,again,again,again,again,
let God’s breadth invite you to the edge.”
“Again,again,again,again,again,again,again,again,
let God’s holiness bring you to wholeness.”
