Some have stood and looked on the face of the Nile others have stood at the base of Everest it’s hard to Turn away your gaze you try to place it in your mind it jumps the bounds starts to build in tremendous Colossal extravagant realms these alone can bare the load or cross the everglades see the meaningful Mixed with the extreme confusion and at some point the secret turning envelops you and you except What you can and digest the rest but there is a greater reality there are times in ordinary days you March to extreme distances troubles exhaust either you are looking through eyes filled with tears They ache and are weary your rescue comes unannounced from the most unrecognized source Something that little thought is given the face in the mirror we look then forget give it little thought but Others when wasted times befall them they look as if they are hungering for the sun after a long Troubled night of darkness in the hidden recesses vagueness intangible non graspable bodiless Memories materialize then fade when the aching heart would have your hands reach forth and hold They give them the telling of deep longings that surge and crash against the walls of your soul Speechless inability chokes the words that want to flow are ****** by powerful forces and into this Torment one thing emerges as a soft glowing light saying in effect the darkness can’t hurt you I am Here you are at a loss for all things dear then eyes that have seen you through some of the hardest times and ears that have listened when all others turned a deaf ear to your cry then the mouth begins to speak your knees grow weak overwhelmed you know times you thought were lost forever all foreign distant lands you were walking fade and give way to the surest and most agreeable time a hand slips into yours they never even know the blessing and comfort that is provided by that ole familiar soulful knowing face that you never give a second thought and yet here its volumes cover hidden wounds that are barely understood but the beaming glow takes you in tow carries you beyond treacherous reefs you find you are being drawn down the island shore to a safe place that you can go inland you will find you are a stranger but the face of your friend is well known by all and you will be accepted loved and cared for so the next trouble breaks across your tiny boat look not at the waves but the strength etched in the friendly feature of the one wisdom created for you alone in this you can master any storm know the soothing mist the grandeur of sunset peace burst through every ray giving way for you to say thank you father you have your way in the storm and you have anchored my heart in a sure place an altogether loving face
