Rain drops tapping gently against my bare skin
A reminder of nature's beauty and its intricate design
The magnificent light of the sun shines through the clouds
Recreating the promise God left to us, a promise he kept in forgiveness.
As I keep climbing, sure to reach some sort of refuge
I find myself parallel to so many other sinners
Each following his or her own path to salvation
I watch people tripping others to get ahead, not realized the inevitable
The mountain only grows in their path, pushing them farther down than before
It is one of the hardest things to do:
Simply watch or fall victim to others' insidious actions intended to hurt
And remain peaceful within myself, sensitive still to their feelings
We stand upright and tall, preaching of God's never ending love for us
And boasting of our initiative to emulate Him in any and every possible way
And yet, we become hypocrites as soon as a speck of dust falls upon a clear glass window
As though a threat to an alleged foundation built through many years
A wave of discouragement and hopelessness has come over me
The real threat in my journey towards the peak
But I continue to plod forward, anxious to get some rest and tranquility
Knowing that the rainbow is not only God's original covenant to Moses and to man
But a sign that anything is possible with Him in my heart
With His guidence and with His love, one day,
I'll be able to forgive those who have trespassed against me,
Set aside my pride and look upwards, towards heaven, and smile.
