Speechless

soaring over surging Surf

and raging Sea

and rugged Ranges 

where my circumstances 

have taken me

(like lovely Laguna

and awesome Avila

and magnificent Mendocino)

rearranges my perspective

on horrific passages

along the Journey

where it felt

like my Creator

and my sanity

had forsaken me

(supposedly and suddenly)

since the Gifts

of distance and Time

are illuminating me

to surprisingly see

how the Journey

of blustering betrayal

and blistering brokenness

became a Pathway

to Graciously reveal

how facing blame

and embracing shame

and savouring Belovedness

through wavering Faithfulness

in a Sacred Shower

from Beyond and Within

are rejuvenating me

and opening me

to the Power

to slowly recover

and gradually Heal

and yet amazingly

the persistent urging

from towering Trees

and breathtaking Beaches

to somehow sing

this new Song

articulating this Transcendent

and Transformative Reality

of unlimited Love

ultimately leaves me

tearfully (not fearfully)

Tongue-tied and Speechless...

Thank You.
