Climbing the Heights

Now to thee oh blessed dawn of day

Now to thee oh blessed dawn of day
I pray thee might spawn in me
Some sense of creativity
Before this silent moon
Should fade away
I ask thee grant me
Some success today

As lines begin to form
In the early light of morn
And the painted canvas
Impressions make
May all these
Fallen strivings bring
A little peace amidst
The onset storm

For beauty in trial
Is most glorious
For it goes beyond
What ere it can
And strives in hope
Far greater than man

Yea rich and full
Is its sacrifice
Most striking
When all is given
In complete
Uncertain faith

For there indeed shall find
The worth of things
Beyond earth

And there in time shall see
Thy glorious sought mystery
Discovered for all eternity

-Joshua Lee Foist
