Darkness drops on dimming dusk
Sky is sprinkled with salt of stars
Gilded glints of gold aglow
Wake the world from wandering hours
Who can speed the break of dawn?
Who can heal the night’s long scars?

Seeking
All the light we cannot see
Yet fills our blood with yearning so
The pull of new discovery
The faith in things we do not know
We press on sure to find the door
The innate longing to be free
The light that led me to a crack
Where I could see but could not reach
The slap that caused me to pull back
And listen to what it would teach
The crushing truth on hopes of youth
I grew to stand within the breach
Sunrise dawn’s brave beams of light
To bathe the soul from night’s dark wake
The tumult of the storm set right
The midnight watch we each must make
To find our place, to run our race
And build a love that cannot break

Climbing Mountains
Climbing mountains – upward trail
Step by step this height to scale
Gurgling brook measuring time
On a long and steadfast climb
Climbing mountains – up so high
Rolling peaks touch clear blue sky
So far above our place and time
The height, the power of the climb
Climbing mountains – safe retreat
The place where sky and mountains meet
Towering rocks stand strong through time
A shelter from the weary climb
Climbing mountains – heart aglow
Traveling back to earth below
Hold this treasure for all time
The hope, the victory of the climb

Long Road
How do I find the way from here
Past this pain and the chain of fear?
Why is the cliff edge taunting so near
Rutted track as I try to steer
Threatening all that I once saw clear?
Sun turns to mist and stars to mist
Shards of ice in a trembling fist
Eyes that yet burn with frozen tear
Search for answers in troubled past
Hope to find a way home at last
Here I wait for the light of dawn
Fighting through til the fog is gone
No matter what, I will hold on
Through this painful ponderous load
No matter what, I will go on
No matter how long is the road
