A Spiritual Journey - Anita

Not withstanding rain
   my heart like a soldier
       my days like the battlefield
           my vision beyond memory

             In the Psalm of Songs
                   I reside
                In my goings and comings
                   I create
                         my poems and my songs
                                music for my soul

                    In these moments I am closer
                           to God
                    
                  I have turned a leaf
                     seen the hummingbird come close
                           walked to the mountain's lap
                                  taken my recovery
                                      as a spiritual journey

                                      For Thee and me
                                I sing waiting for the darkness
                                     to recede
                                  the darkness of my life
                                     has left
                                   I have the hope for a better
                                           today and tomorrow
                                       Hashem is the light
                                                  its that inside light
                                          that starts each day
                                              with gratitude and thanksgiving.
