Vistas

Upon the trail of life we walk

there are moments

we reach a vantage point

in quiet reverence for our journey

caressed by whispered winds in serenity.

 

Is a sanctuary communion

to pause and gaze in deep contemplation

upon that horizon where we conquered

what prevailed in the absurdity of inequality.

 

It is when the sounds of the heartbeats

are listened to more intently,

with such new appreciation for the strength,

which was awaken in the clarity

after some experience that challenged the spirit

when traversing a land of trial and test.

 

Stripped away are the vestments

of pride and arrogance

as the one’s reality feels a tilt

away from self

unto something more profound

and majestic in awareness,

at last seeing inside and out

by eyes that know more truth

than fantasy

that one happily calls home.
