From Psalm 42
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:
all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness
in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me,
and my prayer unto the God of my life.
Psalm 42: 7 – 8
Christmas Tanka by Carol Purington
On a drift of air
that circles the globe
from heart to heart,
continent to continent –
words of a carol
