from the book Beloved Spirit
Let the heart be drawn through
darkest held cares
to a field of peace
the Lord now prepares.
Set free the spirit from
captive ordeal
toward a realm of beauty
the stars reveal.
Discern in the daily
stabbings of pain
a gift that allows
fulfillment to reign.
Follow reflective
traces of belief
to chart a course beyond
earth’s lowly grief.
Achieve a foundation for
life’s greatest good,
build on the sorrow
the soul has withstood.
Flow into the world
of boundless creation,
and see the One’s
divine inspiration.
