Seeking

I climbed the highest peak to see
If I could glimpse eternity,
But clouds obscured the mighty dome
We like to think is Heaven's home.
I swam the deepest sea to find
Affinity with piscine kind,
But wind and wave drove me ashore
Each time I wanted to explore.
I ventured into labyrinths, old,
Where air is dank and wet and cold.
Where every passage that I found,
Led me deeper underground.

I struggled in this world apart,
But never found the earth's great heart.
I soared in space on man-made wings
To reach the stars, to find the things
That are mysterious and rare,
But I found no answers there
And after years of seeking out,
To find what life is all about,
Two things emerged, we need God's love.
Our treasure waits for us above!

(smiles) And travel no further, for the answer is always right there wherever you are, for He loves us all and whenever, wherever, however, His love will never fail us! (big hugggssssss) This s a wonderfully contemplative poem, sweet friend, I went through the same experience and had a great deal of salt demand for the wounds I was afflicted with, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Betty, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah:  Thanks for your understanding remarks. It's not always easy to come to an understanding of what is important and what isn't!
