stops&steps
of the mind
fold back
upon itself
extraneous
yet within
reverberations
transcend language
into
apparent contradictory
perspectives
otherness
a narrative
of a process
which
anchors meaning
moving
back&forth
we each
must find our way
as bafflement
becomes understanding
then venture
a leap
in times of tension
something
is there
a way to godliness
as we
face to face
come
to Thee
memories
in a sense
of imagery
from
a floating vision
in a search
for meaning
of the fallen
state
a stasis
from salvation
found
measuring meaning
identifying
consequences
breathless
to discuss
&
explain
where selfless
love reigns
affirmed
in a communal walk
