Where should I wander? <br />As the shower’s now a storm, <br />Up past daunting darting lizards? <br />Past the fire ants as they swarm? <br /> <br />Where should I wander? <br />Past the path just barely seen? <br />Past the storm now stinging needles? <br />Far above the smell of green? <br /> <br />Where should I wander? <br />Toward the cliff now shining near? <br />Toward the frightening of the lightning? <br />To the heavens! Damn the fear! <br /> <br />Climbing higher now, I’m clinging, <br />With the path long lost below, <br />With the pungent feathers falling, <br />With no fear here that I know. <br /> <br />Crawling careful up the cliff face, <br />I can sense the summit near, <br />Thunder wrapping me with freedom, <br />Its God’s voice I clearly hear.<br /><br />Sandra Osborne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-should-i-wander-to/
