Because I have cried out,
or have whispered
abba, Father
down so many years
into the blinding dark
into the burning light
and have waited, listening,

it seems quite natural now
in age
to call out, 
or say softly
abba, Father
into the whirlwind’s heart
into the darkening sky
into the fierce incomprehensibles
and to wait
