Mile Upon Mile

Heaven knows we need recovery from life like wounded birds of prey we need respite from those cankerous inkly thoughts of night for when a tree falls all creatures live in rife Only a bright star knows how much we long for pearly doors ajar and welcome arms I can hear him whilst below whispering be strong as my weary soul goes setting off alarms Gladness beams in my heart as the moon smiles and even the birds soar again, in confidence I follow His teachings and walk mile upon mile onto the heart of His forest, onto His dense God only knows how much I needed his grace and how much I longed to see his radiant face
