Lo And Behold

Lo and Behold

Lo and Behold.
A proclamation challenging us to look, take notice
Something big is about to happen
Can't you see?
Won't you at least hear?
Lo and Behold.
It's the voice in the wilderness calling us to the time of salvation
It's the still, small voice calling us home
It's the nagging feeling leading us to purpose and freedom
It's the knock at the door we must hush to hear
It's a new thing in a world that frowns upon positive and change
Lo and Behold
Is the tide that the shore receives in all of its moods
The sun that shines in good and bad, clouds and rain
The rainbow's promise from years past
The joy in tears even when we don't understand it all
Lo. And. Behold.
Can't have one without the other.
It's the give and take
The Yin and Yang
The joy and pain
Sunshine and Rain
Of all that is Holy and Sacred
It tells us to taste and see,
The everyday goodness and hope in the midst of darkness
Indeed, it is freeing to free the soul to behold that still, small voice.
Lo and Behold.
