Journeys

Oftentimes
I’ve learned to enjoy journeys
to destinations

I did not seek;

for while climbing,
walking, running, strolling,
or sliding

I found myself ascending verdant hills
descending daisied valleys magnificent
as hawks, eagles, wrens, and snakes

I encountered

growing to strong
from weak…

To eventually scale
a small mountain

peak.

Yes, sun’s rays warmed my skin
and fluctuating shadows frightened me.

Through both times I raised my eyes
for you to thank and for you to seek.

And his mercy
