LONGING FOR A CLEAR VIEW

This picture was captured with my camera lens all fogged over from the humidity but it has brought a thought provoking picture.

LONGING FOR A CLEAR VIEW

How can I know what is ahead?

How can I know that life will bring me something more?

How can I give any other assurance of the future?

How can I see more clearly I ask?

There is a call that is given -

The Spirit asks for permission to come and live

Within one's spirit to be loved and to nurture love

Each and every day all along life's way.

The call is to follow, love and obey -

Yet how few respond in fullness to this call;

There is a nod of the head and possibly even a nod of the heart,

But a full commitment is but a dream that seems beyond reach.

A visitor has come to call and one hears the knock,

One is happy to know someone out there cares -

Yet the response is but a nod -

No invitation to come in and abide awhile is given.

And so the view continues to be clouded -

One wonders who it was who came to call?

Will they come again - will I then truly invite them in?

Or will I continue on each day just wishing for a clearer view?
