HE WAS BY MY SIDE

MY TRIP UP ON A MOUNTAIN 1ST OF THREE TRIPS UP THE MOUNTAIN MORE SPIRITUAL THAN RELIGOUS

HE WAS BY MY SIDE


Climbed up on the mountain.
Fingers almost touched the sky.
Even had to duck my head
As a cloud came tumbling by.

Felt I was invisible,
Amongst the blue and gray.
God must have rested here

On that seventh day.

I could see for miles.
As the air was clear and bright.
Sun shining through the trees,

Though did cast an eerie light

The leaves seem to sing
A song upon the breeze.
Some floating to the ground,
Saying "can catch me if you please".

Even saw an eagle,
Soaring oh so very high.
Looked at me suspiciously,
Giving me that eagle eye.

Then a little chipmunk
Came by to say hello.
Cheeks stuffed with acorns.
I think he’s wanting me to go.

Cannot remember when,
I spent a day like this.
You not being with me
Is the only thing amiss.

I feel so much better now,
For I’ve almost touched the sky.
Still don’t understand it,
Nor the reason why.

But I will take this day,
Always hold it deep inside.
As I have  saw all its beauty
For HE was by my side.

 

A TARNISHED KNIGHT

I felt the energy it took to climb the mountain, the rest at the top, the beautiful view with all the creatures of God's creation telling you "I'm near you". God is always telling us about Him in so many ways. We just have to take the time to see and hear Him. Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem. Aloha, Ginger

I love this. It is so beautiful and the images are so nice and superb. I could literally almost feel the mountain's surface beneath my feet while I was reading this. The reader gets to see healing in this aswell. This is a spirtually calm provoking poem.
