Across the Paddocks
Poem – Clare Lind
Mark 8:35
Across the paddocks
by the willows
there’s a track.
If you take the track
the track will take you
down along the river
to where the mud gives way to the sand
and the river gives way to the sea.
And this landscape of surrender
finds an echo deep within
in the Spirit’s quiet insistence,
‘Come, give way to me.’
It’s a landscape of surrender.
If you take the track
the track will take you…
take you and remake you,
for your trust will be rewarded
and your loss will be your gain.
