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."
