near and far

If I were a floating cloud
looking down upon the world,
I would make whimsical, wonderful shapes
to open your imagination like drapes.

To cause you to look up to the sky
I would make glorious pictures on high.
To cause you to ponder its deep mystery,
I would point like a sign to eternity.

But if you were still drawn to the earth,
walking with your face to the ground and the dirt,
I would make myself a dark rain cloud
flashing bright and rumbling loud.

To teach you the wonder of love divine,
I would reach down from heaven and touch you with rain.
I would let pain thunder in your ear
to bring you low, to bring God near.
