4.) Unbridgeable Chasm
June 18, 2023
Contrary to what a dream might wish for,
There are those, sometimes, who fail to see across
That unbridgeable chasm, the one that leaves the heart
Yearning for the light, the glistening of stars shining,
The whisper of a sun reflecting all the wonders
Found in those who understand, that even when
Darkness falls over the whole land, there is the assurance
That morning will come again and then we can see
Past the forest, through the trees, into the endless peace
That comes to show those who simply believe…
Even in the seas of despair, there is a hope that stirs through
Prayers for tenderness, gentling the darkness – stirring
Silence so it soothes away the fear, drying every tear as quickly
As sunrise dries the dew, reflecting the wonders of a world
Created for our use, an earth built by the tenor of a spirit
Like the wind, soothing and winsome, arriving on the heartbeat
Of a psalm, a calm that erases all the weariness, coloring
The life in hues of inspiration, insight, inviting and restoring
Light like a fire, burning away the sorrow and tears with a faith
That means more than this story can hold, more than the dream,
More than the vision, more than the crimson history bringing
To the night the reason for its leaving, its going back into secret
Where the heart measures its successes with the sacred
Promises from the One who created every word, every heart,
Every reason and every thought….
From the misty mountain’s morning when all is light, so pure
Fresh as the stardust sigh, the music hiding on the skies
Guiding the sun through the heavens, erasing the night’s blackness,
Repairing the memory, the music – its victory, arising
Across the azure, flattering the birds, the butterflies, the beautiful
With a way to bridge the unbridgeable chasm, the abyss between
Light and dark, the past and present, white and black…
It is the bridge across forever, the bridge that silences the doubts,
Reflects the wish of eternity’s gracefulness, smiles down from above
With the sweetness of a love that reminds every feeling, bleeding
Wistfulness… this is the bridge through the quiet, the still, cool praise
From a soul who knows that Jesus is the only bridge ever made.
From dark to light, He made a way – a connection, a crossing
From sorrow to joy, from worry to calm, from wrong to right,
From the doubt to the faith, from impossible to assurance,
From the ridiculous to the promising, from losing to winning,
From the past to the future, from the fear to the confident,
From the word, we learn… with Him, all things are possible…
So the unbridgeable chasm is changed into a bridge of everlasting
certainty, grace that believes, faith that agrees…
He is the answer to our soul’s every need!
