Better Sight...

The story may seem

To shift with the sands,

Yet the Sigh of existence

Can readily be tracked

Back to the beginning

Of an ancestral Path,

Three steps forward,

Perhaps a couple back,

But all the while,

The sanctity of the throughline

Treasured on a rope 

With tension taut:

Awe at the marvel

And forbearance at 

Every hindrance, trusting

That Jacob carries

A Ladder evermore,

The Moon a lantern

For the climb, though

To act as guide,

It has but one demand:

A better Sight,

With eyes of the Heart...

Lovely poem, Holden. Ancestral continuity; perseverance; I especially like the ending, "With eyes of the Heart."
