mountain prayer

thank you for these mountains,
for this trial.
thank you for exhaustion,
and the dusty swirling heat,
and this thirst,
and this pain in my leg that i cannot shake away.
be with me now,
in this miracle valley of your creation,
be with me on this hillside
that makes my heart stop at its beauty
as i ache for you,
be with me for i cannot do this alone.

in this lesson in distance
i am done marking the space between us,
for you are in these blades of grass,
and in this pain,
and in my heart's gratitude,
and i am calling you down from your mountain
to help bring me home.
