Heaven’s Hand

Adrift on a vacant sea, windless tides,
nothing but the same old me, locked inside,
deathly calm airless air, neither hot nor cold,
slowly dying without care, too soon I grow old.

Never occurred that rescue was near,
a vision blurred, but finally coming clear.
Time was running out, and I was needed here,
in a sea of drought, this vision did appear.

A hand held mine, voice of compassion,
a direct heart line, replenishing passion.
Guiding this passage, pointing towards home,
Love, the message, from there do not roam.

On the mighty mountaintops, hands rising high,
there lies heaven’s backdrop, above the sky.

Corrine-

I felt the life-line and rejoiced
that you were pulled to the serentiy
of the mountain top.
From Heaven's lighthouse the beacon
shines brightly.
Beautiful imagery.

My hands just
spontaneously
reached skyward
and the Spirit screamed
PRAISE GOD THE ALMIGHTY,
MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD!!!  
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there is love.
Where there is love,
there is peace.
Where there is peace,
there is GOD.
Where there is GOD,
there is no need.
