Insurmountable

Insurmountable 

I feel a prayer rise within me
for guidance and help as so much shatter,
As hills seem insurmountable , I need a hand.

I pray for a clear head but most
for a trusting and steady heart. 

Maybe I am asking too much when the world is burning
when so many suffer losses and pain, far above understanding.
I should say thanks instead, for every good that has come my way.

Do my  battles with steady mind
be grateful for the loving hearts that surround.
Remember that without love and care our souls don’t live.

I can here the songs from birds outside.

  1. There’s a part of me that simply wants to wander in the woods, Miriam. I’ve often found peace there when the world seems so bleak. We could all use a hand now. A bird’s song is a beginning. –Curt

  5. Profound insights, Miriam! I can hear the sound of wind howling and rain slashing at my window as I read this and know that peace can be found within a storm. Thank you for this profound moment of meditation.

  8. Miriam, your powerful poem is much needed in our unsettled times. Your prayer answered as the recognition falls upon your inner strength, your love and those around us – there is where hope lies. Your last line is perfect – surprising, unexpected yet brilliant. I love your images with the post; the birds in the final one almost look as if a statue! There couldn’t possibly be more in the moment! hugs xx ❤️
