aroma above

from upon this height
barely beheld yet gently caressed
a foretaste of heaven unfolds

and i catch a scent
that tantalizes my soul

…the aroma of heaven…
…the odor of the expanse…

where a King’s palace
is gloriously filled

with the exquisite bouquet
of prayers offered up

…a fortress full of powerful prayer…
…this destination of earthy cries…

where the fragrance of hope
sincerely whispered by saints and sinners

intertwine in a unique spice
that mingles justice with mercy
in an aroma offered above
