Haiku for (in)Courage

I know I missed the deadline. I missed the post, to be honest. But I can't resist the invitation from Robin at (in)Courage.

...

sunlit silver streaks
old woman tossing her hair
caressing crystal

...

And that is all she wrote.

Rescued

We came to the sea, and tears blurred vision, word-echoes muffled wave-sound on sand as more of me fell away. As if the wind moving the surf could sweep me into the water for washing.

Had I done enough, surrendered enough, opened myself enough to Him?

Wrapping arms around myself, I tried to breathe.

I felt utterly alone.

Had God abandoned me? Was He holding Him back from me because I had failed Him?
