Take Refuge
If one would try to see through the lush forest;
For the abundant trees growing camouflage;
There would be an arrival to complete clarity…
The coded emblems of value which grow from fertility;
Presented before the entrance to our personal vestibules;
Are upon journey’s road
where truth can sometimes be obscured…
The prolific limbs of wisdom are fruitful branches
to life sustaining,
growing amidst adversity in unwavering fertile soils.
These symbolic leaves are the budding jewels hidden above;
If only we reach with our hearts to grasp their instilling vision…
We could see within our hearts chamber
a rising to newfound wisdoms,
the cobble stones we have decisively paved
are the awaiting paths to thresholds unseen.
…and it is there we may take refuge
upon the rich border grasses;
trimmed and neatly pruned
by blossoms anointing fragrances…
Giving our souls descrying sight to the future
of lush vines growing love’s bounty;
Painted with serene canaries embowering songs
by eventide’s all knowing harmonies…
