Dear April
Dear April
your moods switch so soon
One minute you part clouds
and shower down sunshine
upon petals open in bloom
A moment later you stop
and tug curtains tightly shut
to rain down torrents
of melancholy drip drop
and broken trust
~
Dear April
I understand your way
the need to shut down
and hide behind the gray
where smiles fade
to melancholy drip drop
while we hope and wait
for our faith to trade
these tears and thorns
for jewels on a crown
transformed.

They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
“You are worthy , our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
Revelation 4:10-11

I live in a temperate rainforest region.
It’s a temperamental place
where the weather changes its mind
in the time it takes me to don my walking shoes and coat.
Life is like that too.
But grace rains down on us—lots of it.
And God is so good—always.

What’s the climate like at your place?
Keeping a personal journal helps me sort out
the moodiness of life.
