High on the Mountaintop

God graced human history
moments of relationship
moments of urgency
of epiphany, of transformation
high on the mountaintops
In the burning bush,
the roaring wind, the stunning silence
the stone tablets,
the places of prayer, of retreat
of redemption, of worship
up on the mountains
Closer to the creator, perhaps
wondrous vistas
Pure moments up in the cloud, the clouds
above the troubles of the world
a place to find God
High on the moutaintop
