The Ascent Calls
By Michael Hislop
Troubles call
Upon Golden Heart
Amidst Blessings thrall
Bewitching befall
Attempting to drown sodden
Fertile grounds of Faith
Sprouting doubts uglyfaced
Damning in accusations
Tempting to fall
Teasing with the precipice
Abyss to Vista
Behold the View
Truly a distance
Too far by far
To return along The Way
The Ascent calls.
