Coming Through a Tunnel

Coming through a tunnel
one sees the light
disappear
at the entrance
with surrounding darkness
enveloping,
the movement continues
in darkness
or if we are lucky
in artificial light.
One trusts
that it is alright
Some purpose
carries us through
to the other side,
the light
of our darkened passageway
fades away
into the light of day.
Life presents us
with many such tunnels
where trust
is the foundation
of forward movement,
where another's work
leads us through
a seeming impasse,
where hope
couples with joy
with embracing light
at the end of the tunnel.
Our belief
and our faith
is slowly raised
in the mounting evidences
of a greater plan
more than any one man
could muster
for in all things
there is the indelible mark
of our creator

see me
let me in
give me a chance
hear me
ponder my words
give me a voice
touch me
for all around you
are my creations
touch them
with love
with kindness
and understanding
give me hands
seek me
in all you do
acknowledge me
with thanks
with good deeds
and generosity
give me heart
and I promise
you will see me
again and again
