Jesus came down from the mountain
to sit with me on the red rock where
the sun set and a full moon rose.

He didn't have much to say but
I will never forget the way he looked into
my heart, then placed his hand there.

It was an honoring, another blessing
of all that lives there, no matter what
you chose or will yet choose.

When I drove through the night
after a day in the canyon grand,
considering my time with him,

I understood it was of no importance
where I drove or whether with another
or alone. I saw the road unfolding,

Knowing still it could go either way
and either way there will be surprises
along the way and so much love.

As far as the East is from the West,
his love will go with me. With or without
you, I can live in the home

Of that love, treasured for my heart
and this love for you that will live on
after any pain that lingers has gone.
