This Immense Place
by Kelly J Eveleth
Salt flats imply a smooth way of travel,
deceiving the low risk taker.
Soft shifting surface holds the traveler to a crawl;
when stopping to absorb more of the expanse
hubs become stuck.
In isolation one asks,
"How did I get to this immense place?"
Western ridges scream,
"Rugged terrain, only the strong survive!"
Appearing to be a trail only for the adventurous,
rocks block the miraculous beyond view.
An everlasting reward awaits those willing to choose
discernment, applying skills gained along the journey.
Accepting gifts of the Creator
the sojourner trembles with the humbleness as he asks,
"How did I get to this immense place?"
"This immense place, you have chosen," breathes the Spirit.
"A desert is where you were and now you are here,
yet never are you alone.
My whispers empower you to move
toward majestic beauty
of this immense place."
