ASSURANCE

Ascending the rugged cleft of questioning
soul pines to gaze through veils of clouds
and touch the face of God.

Standing with arms outstretched,
naked of heart and surrendered of spirit,
calling forth in desperate plea
to see the pastoral splendor of eternity.

Immortal voice opens the sky
eyes behold the mystic wonder
inhaling heaven's unfolding treasures
in the gossamer golden lights
of life's exquisite pleasures
ignited by divine hands.

Immersed in the flood of awe
heart dressed in the rainbow tapestry
seeping inside in deep swells of serenity.

Doubt's wasteland suffocating one's thoughts
is washed away be the illumination of immortal strokes
painting exquisite hues upon the mind.

Panorama's elegance of stately mountains and lush vales
turns to psalm in a heartbeat for their creator
as one feels the quiver from an invisible angelic caress,
overcome by the power of the Lord's enduring love
showered in vivid hints of being to Him a fragile dove.
