MERCY CURVE

Updated: Mar 6

The road winds

Twists and twines

Among these

Mysteriously beautiful

Appalachians.

Upward!

Upward I climb

Round bend and bind

Upward passed heaven

On my climbing ride

To hide

To hide among the fluffy angel fog

Pausing but to revive spent sinew

There, so glad,

Oh God,

So glad to be alive.
