And I Saw

And I saw
heaven spread before my eyes
in the nakedness of my wounds
where faith lead to sacrifice.

Raise in the mind
as hill that must be ascend
for the soul can’t sleep
just in a meadow.

Yet, sunrise bursts by God’s hand,
there is such fire that comes
deep into the moment
far into the heart.

Then gazing through it all,
the pain, the choices and times of falling
with bruises ever in need of healing,
still there is peace
when watching that mound
reached by so many
during the trail of trust.

Climbing through the tears
isn’t a sorrow
because the Lord blows
His winds of grace
over those who make the journey.
