Believe

God sent me a shooting star.
A spark that slashed
Across the dark heavens an night.
I didn’t believe in Him.

He sent me a rainbow.
An arch of colour.
Glittering between the sun and the rain.
I didn’t believe in Him.

God sent me a storm.
A wild raging storm.
That tore the heavens apart with its angry beauty.
I didn’t believe in Him.

He sent me a dawn.
A golden dawn.
Early and fresh and the bird’s young song.
I didn’t believe in Him.

He sent me an answer
To my prayers.
Fulfilled my wish and all I’d asked for that time.
I still didn’t believe in Him.

So He sent me Fear.
That ripped apart my heart
And froze my blood and bones and forced a tremble in my limbs…
I believe, God. Have mercy.
