Sacredessence

I’ll never flee
this sacred existence
my flesh and essence
interleaved;
a Glorious blend, an
absurd cast nod, for
time sprints abroad
and Life shan’t end
still more, cast in fore
difficult paths I see.

Looking upwards
I see a snowy landscape;
fog cloaks the white trees
and veils the earthen shores.
An inert fountain flows:
a tree shining of crystal
its branches frozen tranquil
still confounding me to know,
compels me not ignore,
what lay hidden in the formless sea.

A skill, nay a gift,
a fresh love for tones,
the felt and not known;
I study the distance now
heard by the ear,
conveyed from the heart sounding
a million strung harps as
my mind paints a picture:
a blueprint of passion
a fount from the soul such
to know and not know and
be driven to action
though fear of unknowns try
encase the distance within.

Beyond doubt I’m blessed with
absurd giftedness giv’n
from God’s very own kiss;
so, mounting grueling steps
I dare not look back as
to lag is my death and
to stay voids my gift, thus
persist I on my path.
The locked doors swing wide and
the journey makes way
grandest deeds take their place; my
heart’s dream is realized.
I cannot remain; I
must fly o’er the crest and
bequeath my soul rest
treading daunting terrain for
despite the unknown; I will
let my soul sing on the mountain.

Whether footpaths of God do
extend beyond shadow
I fear I don’t know how
falls one of my steps but
with such faith and trust
that abide with my plans
I’m at ease in God’s vast hands
to never die crushed;
when I abide in Him
a peace seems me stirs so
untamed I stand firm, sent
o’er veiled distant lands.
