prayer in extremity

my soul and body and mind call out to you my God
with need running deeper than the dark river of chill and fear
my cells cry out to you
my mind impoverished without you
my thoughts fall short without your rush of wisdom
my soul a storm without your calming vision
my eyes stone blind unless I have your sight
my hearing dense and without comprehension
unless I have your voice
my heartbeat uncontrolled without your rhythm
your stabilizing influence your calm
to keep my spirit from flying apart
