Standing atop Clingmans Dome,
partly sunny cloudy day
gleaming golden orange fireball warms my skin
sparkling sun rays glisten and flash on windswept water
abundant acres of mountains stand flanked in rows
smoky blue haze hangs over endless natural beauty
trees green or bare stretch branches heavenward
clearly giving credence to their creator
serpentine sinuous streams slither thru the valley
inhale altitude thinned air from 6600 feet
and nonetheless cherish this breathtaking awesome view
as a crisp cool breeze caresses my face
Then it all came back to me, “this is what I miss”
this place where mind, soul, body and spirit
all rendezvous…
the place where I feel so close to you
We shared a fellowship here a quarter century ago
no guilt, no shame, standing boldly in your presence
life’s trauma and dramas fall away like broken shackles
Freedom, peace, serenity and tranquility flow from your fountain
never want to leave, wish it could always be this way
but roaming through dark valleys makes me appreciate the overlook
Wonderful it will be to live in your glory and never depart
eternal life through your Son, the comfort of your Spirit.
