Image




Each of us

Bearing an image

A reflection of the Earthly

And the divine



Lack for little

But found wanting still

Long for life

But living in death



Breath of life

A fading memory

Something nagging

In the corners of the mind



A cry wells up

From depths forgotten

Tears filling an ocean

Solace and longing unfulfilled



Mo mercy or quarter

Given by fellow travelers

But heart’s whisper heard

Reaching seeking ears



Invitation given

Nets cast for all

Voice carries in the wind

Hope spreads its wings



Those who are seeking

Find peace in their dreams

Mercy heals old wounds

Future brightens in sunrise



Dawn breaks in sleepy eyes

Warms long frozen hopes

Weary travelers energized

Step into life’s roads again



Moving forward toward

Hope’s eternal warmth

Comfort in our trials

Joy unexplainable



Home not far away

In a place promised

But just out of sight

Aroma of a garden on the breeze



Step in close

Bear us up in our weakness

Clear our sight

And help us to see



The image of You

Etched in our souls

And in future sweet

Tears and trials forgotten
