My Spirit Presses Upward

My spirit presses upward to you, Lord, knowing that, all the while, you reside in the deepest inner recesses of my present where I can never be separated --from everlasting to everlasting-- My heart shall sing of your peace within, Now, I shall walk with you each day, --and, eventually-- My soul shall reign with you in heaven, My spirit shall roam the celestial realms teaching the peace that passes understanding sharing the peace that only you give to every living creature SEVENTH PLACE WINNER written July 2, 2021 for "Tat Tvam Asi" poetry contest sponsored by Unseeking Seeker

Thanks, gw. I rarely write spiritual poems of this nature, so it was a stretch! But, thanks for your kind comment.
