Without Frantic Endeavour

Here I stand, on the peak of life's mesa

How unreal it all looks from here

The remnants of misty clouds now leave

Clear vision and lasting impression

Pay a visit to this magical place of peace

Tall trees protect that which is important to me

My memories of something important

There you are, lying...regular as clockwork

I could so easily take your prickly hand in this place

It isn't dream-like, just honest

Comfort oozes from my every pore now

I am Blessed...with knowing

As I keep searching without frantic endeavour

Beneath my opened treasures

Silly how small things stand for more here

God shows you solutions...If you let him

And all is quiet...except for his strong voice

He delivers hope where all hope was gone

In hearts barren, aching and torn

He sprinkled stardust on my eyelids

And lifted me to the heavens to catch a glimpse...

Of what life really means...there...my soul is opened...

Awakened to renewed passion and love beyond compare

A feeling I guess I never out grew

It waits...it will wait into eternity...or until the time

When fear will not prevail

When eyes only shed tears of joy

And lovers know that their rightful place...

Is with each other.

Life moves so quickly... such a rush of thoughts, and work, and fear as well... You've created such an artwork of peace that allows one to step just a little slower and catch his or her breath. Thank you!

Thank you Craig...kind words indeed...

[Coyote Poetry]

Artwork and words were amazing. Type of poem I had to read a few times to enjoy the peace and hope of your words. The poem took me to some good places and open the door to some positive thoughts and hope.

So many statements stood out in this outstanding poem.
