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
