[hometext] => I wrote this wondering what life holds for me. The landscape described is from a picture I took in Alaska.
[bodytext] => Standing in a breeze
Bracing and cold
I look at the land
Spreading beyond.
Ahead are dark trees
A sheltered walk
Perhaps there is peace
For weary feet.
But further are hills
A rising rock-face
A hard path
For me to tread.
From where I now stand
I see beyond the hills
Far mountains rise
Dim to my eyes.
But on them is light
Sun through clouds
It must be warmer
In the valley below them.
But it will be long
Ere I reach the sunlight
A long climb
A lonely road.
And when I reach the valley
How long may I linger?
How can I climb the mountains
And what lies beyond them?
Lord and Way-finder
Take care for my walk
Do not let me stray
Let me find what is after the end.

I love this one Andrew! It is very simple and contemplative. It is deviant from your normal epic style, and I rather enjoyed it. The scenery described is beautiful, and the theme rings true for all, how we are all unsure of our fate. I love how in the end you give up the feeling to God, asking Him to take care of you. It's a simple act of faith all man must do. Excellent work written in a few words. God bless!

Some poets write from the heart, some from the mind and some from the soul... you write from the spirit of everything that is good in this world. You give me a huge yearning for nature. If I werent at work, I'd go run in circles outside like a little girl. :) Thank you
