In a place of... mist and shadow

when it’s thought… one cannot cope

From above…outline of a barrow…

appears as a gleaming rope~

While stare is stayed and constant…

reaching forth, though faith besieged

A prayer… regardless … unfair virulent

brings…encouragement…on bended knee~

Celestial waters placate…

the twist..of truths to lies

Scriptures of honey…sweeten taste…

of bitterness and sighs~

In the mystery of …His Presence

a crest…is found within farrago

And there’s a donning of…vie essence

in a place....of mist and shadow~

Ps 24:7-10, Job 23:8-10, Ps 27:13-14
