The Mountain Top:
A place where life’s scarred fingers
can effortlessly sink into the warm and sacred rock.
A haven where dreams become a healing reality,
and wishes can be warmly touched.
where hope has substance,
and the breeze whispers, “Freedom.”
It is the holy sanctuary where every breath gives strength,
and the beating heart at last has purpose.
A comforting realm where vulnerable openness is not feared,
and even the tenderest soul is secure.
A refuge… a rarified kingdom whose battles are won
with warmth and acceptance,
and its banner, when unfurled, is Love.

The Valley Below:
A native land whose rivers run with pain,
and whose mornings are heavy with foggy sorrow.
whose soil is hardened by droughts of artificiality,
and whose shores are mined with the quicksand of pretense.
A world of foreign lords… always demanding, demanding, demanding;
giving little thought to the resources within one’s grasp;
A land of shadows… empty and distorted…
a throbbing sea of obscured shapes
void of any comforting substance;
A wilderness of tangled thought;
A desert of strangled emotion,
and children…
oh, yes, the children…
the bloodied, wounded, children…

Someone, for reasons unknown to me
chose to place innocence in this dark and desperate valley.
Frail flowers, delicate seedlings, defenseless emerging shoots
lie hidden beneath the jungle canopy,
each struggling towards the light,
in mortal need of a Champion.

But, to survive, I will secure the Mountain Top within my heart, within my soul;
a treasure that defies description,
a gift beyond price.

Excellent description of lifes ups and downs and the wonder of it. The purpose of it, I believe, is first, Christs glory and secondly, the salvation of souls - which redounds to His glory also.

I could discuss this one with you for hours ... there seems to me many layers under the words and nearly as many apllicicable situations that they could fit. There is religious applications, the physical world ... so much here. This is what I look for when I seek a good read ... multiplicity that challenges my mind and creates a myriad of options and possibilities with the same words. A slight change of perspective and the image is drastically altered. I like this greatly.
