Manifest Destination

However dark those woods appear
Undying blossom, life puts forth shoots
tender, becomes an oak
supine beneath its sheltering arms

Manifest dream become flesh
girl with such fiery life as this
Wandered timeworn I sought
strangers I'd found, -- useless
distractions; all proof I'd yet
-- to find You

I long for that portal, opening
when we no longer have to live
by hope alone
find better uses
for tears, enjoined
Higher, and higher
Higher, and higher
it grows
in You
