(Wendy Cabell, May 28, feast day of the above Nicea Icon of the Mother of God, and of Blessed Maria Bagnesi and Blessed Margaret Plantagenet Pole. Today on the Jewish calendar, Noah's ark came to rest on Mount Ararat (2105 BC). Image from here.)
Nighttide
opens up nook to curl in.
Stars a blanket. Bed a boat.
Placing soul in Your hands,
day cast upon the waters.
Carried. Knowing I'll
wake to You
one way or
another. And
that You Yourself will
bring me to the day I
next need know.
