The first step the spirit takes upon the chosen path,
Begins with that of pain.
A spiritual awakening to higher regions; known only
To the few who dare to tread.
The path it is not easy, as it spirals up and down.
Each step that takes you higher may also bring you to
The ground; for yet another lesson found.
It is lessons in forgiveness, for others and for self, that Sends your pathway onward to the lofty heights above.
And as we drop these burdens, the Light shines on us bright; melting all our pain and showing us the way.
Climbing ever higher, finding peace and hope and rest.
Guided to a Love we've never known so that we may shine our best.
