On the Road to God

April 17, 2014

Waiting in the morning to awake,

The dreaming night persistent in the mind

A thirst of soul these visions cannot slake.

The seeing heart alone must pathway find

As day must bridge the chasms of the heart

The impenetrable mystery fill with light.

And yet these co-joined twins live not apart,

Together face the demons we must fight

For of soul's constitution they are one.

Now the dawn and evening put to rest

And from entangled dark the brilliant sun

Renewed hope brings to the spirit's inner quest.

The challenge we must face is new-begun

And though the outer life impose its will

An internal memory of paths we've trod

Lingers faintly in our movements still,

Of our spirit's journey on the road to God.
