Thought
Earnestly have I sought
Over many miles been brought
For eyes to drink in waterfall
That pictures show as curtain wall
As mighty river makes its pour
Heart racing hear the thunder roar
Water drops against the skin
Soon long held dream to begin
But no scenic view displays to me
Only rising mists of mystery
No grandeur captured on this day
Till floods and spray have gone away
Whatever it is – whatever I seek
Is delayed by the need to peek
Placed at distance in my mind
Whatever I seek I will not find
Remove the mists and all will clear
No need to seek it from afar
For scenic grandeur’s where you are
Prayer
O Lord let me not put you far away and me far from Thee. Let me not look for you in far off places. Thy beauty is truly here where I stand with you in me and all around. Please lift the mist from my eyes that I may gaze with love and wonder on Thee.
