The Ascent


New heights

New challenges

Thin Air

Hard to

Breathe

Standing alone

Above

The World

Surrounded

By Friends

And Strangers


Phone Calls

By Remote

Fail to

Expose

The Removedness

From the

City

That Make

Things Below

Look

So Small


There is a

Power

In an Ascent

And Hope

With the

Distance

That Makes

Powerful Machines

Look Like

Toys of

Little Children


Lord

You Have Shown

Your Glory

On the

Mountain

Now Speak

To Me
And Through Me

In the Valley

of
Matchbox Cars and

Shattered Dreams
