Descending to Ascend #374

Descending to Ascend In the vast expanse above, Where clouds gather and part, Rain embarks from heaven's heart, Descending, a gift of love. It seeks not the higher ground, But to the earth's embrace it's bound. Flowing, always to the lower, To the sea, its destined tower. Like water's unforced path, So the Gospel finds its wrath. Not in rising, but in bowing, In humble hearts, it's flowering. Christ's virtues, pure and clear, In humility, draw near. Not to elevate with might, But to fill the lowly site. Blessed, those who walk this way, Like Beatitudes that sway. Sharing Gospel, not to tower, But as rain, to softly shower. In descent, we find our rise, Beneath the earth, beneath the skies. Descending to ascend, In this journey, let's transcend. Written by Steven G. Lee
