A tremor colors the dryness,
a voice cuts through the gale:
“This one belongs to the journey,
should she choose to believe.”
A bell chimes in Heaven,
a shadow calls her name.
If death is not a beginning,
why do we reach for the sky?
A wave crosses the desert,
a shiver moves the plains:
“This one will taste the harvest,
she will carve the bark of faith.
A message’s dawned on her sorrow,
her task throughout the land:
“This one is marked for greatness,
should she choose to believe.”

I wasn’t able to see the image, even by clicking on it…..Wonderful to read your words though and very evocative. I’m a bit late, but it was a lovely surprise to find a new post on here!

I haven’t been by for awhile, but am so glad I stopped by to read this. Beautiful. I love this line: “This one will taste the harvest, she will carve the bark of faith.” I hope all is well with you…
