A Pilgrims Tale

The war around me is intense 

My loyalty is questioned 

Spitting blood sweat and sand 

The setting of the sun at the drum beat

Sets the tone for the dance my body so craved… twilight calling 

I crawled into bed exhausted from the day… 

Too many hours had passed since I had visited the restful solace of my own cot 

My head fell to the pillow and continued to plummet deeper… deeper I stumbled 

Sleep engulfing my soul 

Into warm living water flowing all around me 

Slowing my descent… And finally came to rest in the hand of God 

There in peaceful cohabitation with Him far away from my busy life an eternity removed from the cares of my temporary earthly dwelling …

I rested renewing myself in His radiant warm embrace 

I had passed through the timeless veil 

Asleep to one world and awake to another 

Enjoying the fleeting moment of my vacation home a galaxy away… 

Seeing I’m just a pilgrim on this journey 

Aware that some day I would slip into eternity and never have to return…
