If I were a girl in a book…
I would paint my character in poetic colors…
My pen would take you on an adventure…
Cross the ocean with me?
Survive the desert with me?
Escape the jungle with me?
Climb the mountain with me?
Discover the horizon with me?
Have you ever felt like a fish out of water…
Gasping for a breath of fresh air…
Many seduced you with fake bait and just like that…
You’re thrown back into the deep dark sea…
Where sharks await by the slightest scent of blood…
Ready to attack, kill and destroy…
Then, just when you think it’s too late…
God creates a mate to keep you safe…
Please, take me back to ancient times…
The time when the prophets were formed in the wilderness…
The time when Moses parted the Red Sea…
The time when the people of God received the 10 commandments…
The time when the sunsets were oh so magnificent…
The time when the sandstorms were omnipresent…
The time when the oasis’ water was oh so translucent…
Come, escape into the Amazon jungle with me…
Where my roots sink deep into the soil of South America’s beauty…
Just like in the garden of Eden, where creation went hand in hand oh so beautifully…
Take a look at nature’s anatomy, the flora and fauna oh so fresh and so clean…
Simply, lost in this pure green maze and can’t seem to help but gaze…
I look up to the Heavens and ask the Holy Spirit to navigate the way…
As I breathe heavily, I persevere and climb the mountain of the Lord…
Along the way, my mind reflects…
Along the way, my heart renews…
Along the way, my soul restores…
Along the way, my spirit resets…
Along the way, my temple made whole…
Finally, I reach the top and give all glory and honor to the Ancient of days…
Behold and see…
Holy promised land, sand sifting between my toes…
Holy water, drinking and thirsting no more…
Holy blue skies, no beginning and no ending…
Holy clouds, sailing by like white cotton candy…
Holy heaven, travelling on imperial streets of gold….
Behold and see…
Eternity!
