today
throwing open
my window wide to the sky
cacophonous rain
thrumming
on the roof
creating such a din
deluging
the canopy of green
pavements shimmering
lights reflecting golden
on streets
a world on pause
because most
harboring safely inside
a midsummer's day full
of unexpected
in the wet and the chilly
the muted grays
like summer got angry
and throwing a fit
and life's like that
sometimes
things changing
uncomfortably
unexpectedly
and there is much lament over
what is and isn't
and the not yet
but today from a window
in watching the downpour
obliterate the sky
and pound merciless for hours
gaining perspective
to slow
to ponder
and to see
a holy God
filling the earth with goodness
even in the midst of broken
plans going awry
lives crumbling into small pieces
disappointment showing up
seemingly capricious
and stunning
finding only God capable
of redemption
we are not
and He astonishing with love
undeserved
knitting us back together
redeeming the brokenness
ensnaring our lives
beauty today
from a window
showing up raw
and reminding
on a midsummer morning
even in the rain
