Stumbling among the Trees
Was I old enough too understand the reasons,
why God unfurled a myriad of seasons ?
An empty space--a relic--of years gone by,
let loose within my soul a youngster's sigh.
The shallowness that claimed my heart's corruption,
was old and torn like crumbled leaves' destruction;
For through the lens of youth I viewed the wasteland,
and carved the ravaged pathway to the heartland.
Stumbling and tumbling among crisp evergreens,
searching for answers to questions now foreseen;
In images of light which floundered and faded,
while still holding onto flowers--ripped and jaded.
But then a rainstorm gathered with its power,
in a blast of wild winds with blinding showers;
My road ahead seemed doomed too be obscure,
as I wandered through the trees toward Heaven's door.
And there I found the ultimate place of peace,
like a lantern in the darkened night's release;
Where trees of every shape and size grew tall,
and enchantment ruled the day for one and all.
About this poem
A very personal account of losing one's way then finding it through the fields of Nature and the beauty of the heavens. A truly spiritual journey ! Fran Mcclelland
