Between the Trees

She sat wedged between majestic trees of beauty and style 
 sidled in a labyrinth of Faith and exactitude 
 The day was damp, I could smell the earth beneath my feet 
 and only God knew where the angels were that very moment, 
 as she cried tears of water and human petrichor; 
 My heart was filled with a deep compassion for her as she wept 
 I joined her in the water dance of mercy and love, unrationed 
 Her eyes became alive with a deep color of fire and amber 
 as she exuded energy that could only be expressed through awe 
 I lunged for a moment of communion with her and the 
 whole world fell away at our feet....
 The message came hours later, when I stood in silence 
 at the window of my soul...
 "FAITH IS NOT A LOGICAL EXPERIENCE ,
 BUT A CONVICTION OF THE HEART" 
 One rainy day as I stood in front of the Blessed Virgin Mary 
 surrounded by nature and rain, I experienced something
 that was to remain in my heart forever.
