Fresh Energy

The waves crash volcanically
Dissipating energy momentarily
Eroding rock-face
Echoing upheavals elsewhere 
As the world waits warily 
Anticipating seismic shifts,
Preparing to face what comes,
So, looking for strength to endure,
And finding again the power of love
As the basis for a life of action
In solidarity with the powerless,
Fighting for justice and truth 
While deep calls to the depths within 
As another wave offers its strength.

Echoes of Psalm 47, sharing the trepidations many feel in the wake of the US election,

' ...Deep calls to deep
    in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
    have swept over me. ...'
