Description:
Vision of Horatio Spafford*
He stared with numbness
into dark and frigid water
crying from the depths
for loss of two daughters.
At that crystalline
point In time,
saw hope displayed
in the waves;
like the moon's
apogee and perigee,
reflecting from the
surface of the deep;
what light of life shines near,
will also briefly move away;
and that which is laid to rest,
must therefore awaken someday.
*Horatio Spafford lost two daughters as the result of a shipwreck in the Atlantic. Inter he stood on the deck of a ship near the location where his daughters were lost and began writing the words that ultimately became the great hymn of hope and peace known as "It Is Well With My Soul".
