We Climbed a Mountain!

The rocks cry out
in a glorious sheen
a beautiful sound
but what does it mean

as we weave in and out
of each twisting crevasse
only to see a jumbled mess
of rocks piled
as if dropped from the sky
with no reason
or answer of why
and yet as we perch
to look all around
here at the top
there is a resounding sound

of goodness

of peace of still

well removed by the touch of man's will
to sit and be once more
the only thing worth climbing for

for the wholeness felt
at the cool air smelt

at the peak of the mount
the best healing place to be found

and as you walk again
down the steep terrain
and listen to the pattering
the dripping rain
somehow walking away
among the few
embracing
what you already knew.

"I love you, Lord, my strength."
Psalm 18:1

Your Words Within My Heart

Petals fade
scales made
a beautiful facade
emotions whirling
speculations twirling
forming a tight knit wad
till enters in a breath of air
fragrant sweet, its source so fair
a warmth unknown
the seed is sown

and the transformation starts
your words within my heart

I shed off the scales
of comparison and fear
cast it away
to draw you more near
and the beauty of the light
dispels the night
which once consumed
and compressed
my heart of a messy nest
messy and broken no more
freed from the dirty floor
it once was stomped on and trampled by
my heart is now free, its time to fly
and all because of you.

"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and make captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
2 Corinthians 10:5
