Mystery

Life continues to surprise me

the acceptance of the inevitable.

 

I wonder how Hope walks

following Life with a lamp

treading on corpses of Trust.

 

The miracle of respiration

in the ever-changing direction of winds.

 

I look back on solitary footprints

and gaze at the conquered mountain peaks.

Who carried us thru’ it all?

 

Deriding enemies, backstabbers and traitors,

I continue to seek companionship.

 

I am in awe of the sailing ship.

navigating thru’ Power and Greed

staying afloat to meet an anchor.

 

The undercurrents of Faith surprise me

in the overarching theme of Existence.
