The day I find myself upon a mountain top ,
where the mist caresses my face.
I shall close my eyes and feel his touch,
and know of his saving grace.
My senses will sharpen to look upon,
the curves of the lovely world.
To invision the colors so strewn about ,
at my feet the waft of flavors that unfurl.
Raising my arms I shall shout out in praise,
Lord take my soul help me find the way .
To write for all sick and in pain,
let my words lift their spirits once again .
As I reopen my eyes and look near and far,
within the mist comes a raft of shinning stars.
Sprinkled as glitter about me there,
oh how God has made me so aware.
Unable to move unable to breath,
I so felt his loving hands lift me .
I was carried within the mist that day,
and with the angels he let me play .
Then in a flash I was back upon the mountain again ,
with heavy heart to be returned yet their was the faintest hymn .
I stood very still even though I felt faint to hold the moment dear ,
To let everyone know he is within your grasp and whispers in your ears.
Be not afraid my child for I am here beside you each day ,
I am in the morning mist and upon your face I play.
You will hear the hymn I send along the wind so fair,
through the leaves of my trees always be aware .
As I turned to descend from the mountain I noticed footprints about ,
sandals it appeared and my tears came rolling out .
I fell to my knees and kissed the ground for which he blessed,
and thanked the Lord for his kindness along the mountain crest .

Beautiful!
I can't believe I missed reading this before! My fav part is:
"Be not afraid my child for I am here beside you each day ,
I am in the morning mist and upon your face I play.
You will hear the hymn I send along the wind so fair,
through the leaves of my trees always be aware."
Wonderfully done!

It is such a joy to be God's hand extended. We lose nothing, and are so enriched in relationship with Him.
To God be all glory forever and ever.

Truer Words,
could not be spoken. At least not of the unfailing love and grace of the Lord, Himself.
You paint a moving tale of one's encounter with the risen savior of us all. The breadth of your description leaves me hungering for the kingdom to come.
Thanks for entering, Best of Luck!
Niaish,
Silent Hawk
