Tether

Tether

Between Terra Firma

and Terra Incognita

Fine as a silken spider web

And as Invisible...

This Thread that Holds me

When all others fail

The ones that seemed

so strong

so steadfast

so substantial...

...the ersatz ephemeral toeholds

this world has to offer

the trinkets

and tenuous affections of man

No, it is not in these that I trust

But rather in the load bearing

seemingly insubstantial

Solid Ground of Spirit

Sacred Segue from Deep to Deep

in Which my flesh finds safe passage

and sure footing

in Which when I feel so utterly lost

I am Finally Found

In God Alone am I Grounded

He alone holds sway over my soul

lays claim to my heart

and affords me

Firm Foundation

Thus Anchored into the Almighty

and His fear-leveling Love for me

Thus held and harnessed in Heaven's Hands

I carry on

and Hold

to the only

True

Tether

"God Himself has said, I will Not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support.  I will not, I will not, I Will Not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let you down nor relax my hold on you!  Assuredly Not!"
