GROVE CREEK SUITE

“YES”: THE BENCH

My questions had an answer –
A Being whispered “Yes” –
I followed His commandment:
“Come follow, teach, and bless.”


MATURITY: THE BRIDGE

Respect for words is charity –
Without it we would fail –
To train the tongue means clarity –
That amity prevail.


HUMILITY: THE FOREST

Humility’s not high nor low –
It’s balancing the load –
The paradox of Heaven’s God –
Mortality’s Abode.


CLIMBING: THE SPRINGS

To climb is steep but worth the strain –
The vistas are immense –
The nearly silent chant of grass
Awakes our sleeping sense.


SOLO: CHRIS’S FLATS

Our solitude is plenitude –
The emptiness is dear –
The wilderness inhabitants
Can greet us without fear.


THE WAY: THE GROVE

“The way seeks us” as we walk on –
The path is foreordained –
Coincidence is not by chance –
The plan is not constrained.


FELLOWSHIP: THE FIRE ROAD

Our fellowship brings gratitude –
The gift of morning tide –
Companionship is interlude
With angels at our side.
