From the highest mountain peaks <br />Moon’s pale and gentle beams <br />Like guiding legs of life <br />Alight in shadows <br />Up-lifting treasured <br />Mortal souls <br />Cradling each softly <br />In tears of His Love <br />Comforted with <br />Winter’s purest feathers <br />Fluttering overhead on <br />Wind’s sweet breath <br />Sending those <br />Goose-bumped arms of love <br />To carry an unfathomable <br />Goodness upward to <br />Our Father’s ever-lasting love <br /> <br />(Mountaintop Cottage, Tennessee <br />~ September 6,2006)<br /><br />Debora Short<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-gentle-journey-of-the-cherished-2/
