The meter in your poem is impeccable. I read "From far above the mountain’s peak" incorrectly at first as "Far from above . . . " but the rhythm of "From far above . . . " the way you wrote it is much better than my misreading. I'm guessing you wrote and revised this poem more than two or three times before the version you posted here which flows efforlessly.

Oh I love this. I love that He came down, paid the price, made the mountain a hill, turned the darkness to dawn. I love it all. What a beautiful picture.

Wat een prachtig, diepgaand gedicht! Je geeft hierin zoveel weer...

Steeds weer kom ik nu ook terug bij die tekst uit Hooglied 6: ik ben van mijn Geliefde. Hij heeft ons lief, geeft alles voor ons en bemoedigt ons.

Zo'n heerlijke gedachte!

So blessed by your beautiful words, Ali. My father once told me that the words don’t come from me, they come THROUGH me. I feel His presence in everything you write. 🕊️💜
