Renewal

Upon the trek through slopes of inner conflict
beneath the transient turquoise sky,
the eyes of the soul behold
those tangerine fingers of light
and inside swells the power of faith
as that calming sense of serenity.

In the splendor and trails strolled
within still yearns for the beauty of belief,
to see in that scenic tapestry travelled
something more than mere vivid visual visions.

It’s the questions quizzed of quintessential quest
located deep within the heart and spirit,
reaching so far inside while on any landscape
where we know so intuitively
answers are found we need so much to know.

Upon the plateaus passed in poignant passage
though every lair, layer and land of life,
we pause on the pilgrimage of clarity and wisdom
for an hiatus in understanding.

How the wind blows its secrets
when morning rises in our minds,
a dawn of renewal once we finally are ready,
ever so willing to inhale
the air that carries God’s scent of grace.

Oh the joy, the intense sense of tranquility
once we look and at last gaze with acceptance
at the wonders before us
with a willingness to truly fathom
they are from a divine fingerprint.

Humbly standing instead of wandering
because that new song rises within
from those notes of forgiveness
that begin with forgiving oneself.
