Climbing the Heights

Ah, restless heart

Ah, restless heart
Wallow not in the sand
Or settle for what lies but
A short distance from hand
But look out and beyond
To the sun that is rising

Rising rich and full
For there beyond
And farther still
Lies all thy longing
And the greatest thrill

For what lies ahead
Is yet to be known
But joy it brings
In each splendorous ray

It calls out
It beckons
It warms the heart
Of those in darkness

For its light shines through
All the darkest of nights
Tis sweet this longing
And surely satisfying

Twill make well the sickest of souls
Who will but linger in its light
And long for this one delight
Forever is a glorious journey beyond

Tis wondrous to behold
To feel but the warmth
Of things to come

-Joshua Lee Foist
