Thought
Earnestly I have sought
Over many miles have 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
Delayed by the need to peek
Is placed at distance in my mind
Whatever I seek I will not find
Do not seek for what is near
Remove the mists and all will clear
Scenic grandeur’s where you are
No need to seek it from afar
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 on Thee.
