Seaweed

In the push and pull of forces
you can be like seaweed on the tide.
The fascinating dance
in tidepools at the turn,
of flotsam rocked
by something greater nearing,
declares your power to be satisfied
for once
with where you're taken.

and curse the cold
though God knows I should speak more joyfully.
Put aside the question of his birth;
to be here on the earth
with those indoors
is cause enough for constant celebration.

but a touch of Your hand
here, upon my heart,
I shall be upheld
in all of this.
