The Mad and the Wild
-- Living Stones, Northamptonshire, 1997
The mad main
- Lashing and thrashing
- With a million briny whips
- Pounding and grinding with foaming fists
- Wild white water tearing down the ramparts and cliffs.
- Oh God the sea is like a pool
- Compared to You
- I look upon Your waves with dread
- But if they break upon my soul
- Let me quickly now be sped
- To the shoals
- Sheltered in Your heart's sea bed.
- Wild wild wind
- Who can tame your breathless race
- Or match your madcap motion's pace
- A devastating dance of strange and dangerous grace.
- My God the storm is like a summer breeze compared to You
- Who is not felled before Your blast?
- But let me be a tiny seed
- Borne upon Your breath and blown at last
- To grow amidst the meadows of Your forest.
