warm,
sticky arms
and back,
yet, a gentle
coolness air brushes
my cheeks

the firmness
of the concrete
almost seems
to rise to meet
each footfall

in rapid rhythn
each step
paces off
each line, on the page
before me,
anxiety of each character
permeates my mind
quickens my heartbeat

then a calm
sweeps through me
as the characters'
sense of peace
is restored

each prays
for obedience
patience
faith and trust
each rests in belief
as their requests
for renewal
gain answer

I
too
then
find myself
echoing heartfelt pleas
for my cares
my loved ones
my future

a rise
beneath my foot
attempts to
unbalance me,
my conviction,
my faith

yet my path
goes smooth again
and clear

walking
in sunshine's confidence
reading
of the faithful
caressed
from the inside
drenched
in calm
I believe.

Hello, all, I'm at my daughter's until sometime tomorrow, Wednesday. Thought I'd pop in and leave my latest, then look around.
Virginia

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
