Mountains

Within all the pendulum of life moves in a cadence of perpetual motion.
Rhythmic, ceaseless, oscillations reverberate unabated unto our mortal conclusion.
Abiding innermost among all, the relentless meter of moments counting away.
Time, Fears no man. Man, fear only the ‘morrow which stole his yesterday.

I am a sojourner seeking solace, in a place not yet my home. 
Where the colors of our dreams mix with the hues
Of others, infused by passion and conceived in desire. We live our lives in the
Imagination, captured by the visions that dance behind our eyes.

Off’ times we lie athwart of lines between self, and the perception there of.
Knowing, living in the truth , must give one pause.
Who we are, whom we pretend or are presumed to be, cannot be dismissed.
Whether to be true unto thy self, or disloyally unto Friend.

Daily I must search my heart. Recheck my intentions, Humble my motivations.
So gentle the sloop rolls down into Self, so lofty the hill rises to reach others.
Two roads diverge in the wood, which choose thee this day.

Look up, into the Highlands, Where Heaven meets in a thousand clouds.
Stretch forth thy hands unto Thy Glory, Reach beyond horizons’ shadow.
Step onto the path of Truth and Beauty. Walk along the walls of Freedom.
Stride In the spirit of love, joy, peace patience, kindness, goodness,
Faithfulness, gentleness.

The morrow waits your choice. It’s unavailing of your colors.
Give pause before you step foot to earth, prepare your heart for pure air 
among summits seldom seen. For only when the self begins to rise to the occasion
And admiration of his brother, will he first feel the shine of the Son 
breaking through the haze. Fear not young one, for I am there beside you.

The Mountains have I claimed number among the stones, The heights which
I’ve Fallen still ach within my bones. Yet the day beckons, and welcome it I must
For these aching tired bones have a mountain challenging my Faith.
Walk your way Brother, choose your road well.
Or walk with me a mile-or two and should your feet 
Feel the pain, I shall carry you along our way.

Be well, and safe beloved friend.
