♪INKling No14—vision♪
Where there is no vision, the people perish.—Proverbs 29:18 KJV
if you can cast your gaze beyond horizons
that at your feet dump life’s myopic poisons
you’ll see that silver-edgéd clouds
are only temporary shrouds
rise from the dark
lest there you perish
rehearse your visions
with new relish
be not content
to sleep with doubt
while faith calls you
from slumber out
let fertile thoughts infuse your mind
to lift you from the daily grind
of circumstance. look past the haze
and you will find a song always

This immediately reminded me of Micah 7:8... my past several years have been so cloaked in darkness. I dont know if it's ever been as simple as "rise from the dark" for me, but this verse vibrates in my soul... thanks for the share and reminder.

Hey, Vickie
Thanks for emphasizing the connection between this poem and your own musings.
How apt your scripture reference! "Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light" is the soul's true defiance of life's hard knocks.
It's never as simple as getting up and being rid of trouble at one's bidding: courage to face the challenges of the world is usually a struggle to the finish.
I'm happy to have struck a concordant note with your recollections.
Sincerely
cab
