Darkness and night and

Cloudiness and rain;

Homelessness and the desert, all

Bring me back again to my nature;

Alone, with whom

I came in;

Finding the Christ

As my brother and kin;

Having time to reflect on my sin,

That could easily become

My second nature.

But the turn of the wheel

Keeps me humble and

In touch with myself

Sure and true,

Because the changes

Keep me uncertain

About the present and

In touch with the Spirit

Which is new

To my nature.
