The True Spirit

Mountainous peaks so high
above the clouds. A rugged 
ladder of ice rock and snow,
seemingly out stretched 
towards heavens gates.

A fearful endeavour to cross
a narrow mountain ledge.
Tread carefully a slip could
mean a free fall to your final
resting place.

In this patient moment you 
recite a scripture. Reminding
and reinforcing that you do 
not have a spirit of fear.

A radiant sun overspills between
two peaks with the true spirit.
You walk onwards head held high
to safety in God's love.
