There YOU Are!

 

There You Are!

(only a glimpse)

 

Fully awake, suddenly

No longer asleep

Deep, velvet blackness

Is all I can see

 

 

Then a spiral

Clouds of purest white

Appear in a distance

I give only a glance

 

 

Then it happens

I’m at your feet

Blinding light envelops

My breath I cannot keep

 

 

I feel your power

Why for me this shower?

Glory on display

Brighter than any sun’s day

 

 

Rainbow colors

Bright hues

Dance, move madly

Dancing to their own tunes

 

 

I try to turn away

But by your hand I am stayed

I take a second Glimpse so brief

But suddenly I am released

 

 

And I am back

Inside my body

Thrust back into my world

I have been hurled

 

 

Back into the merely physical

But Oh, the glory I did see!

Such other worldly beauty

Of all strife and pain is free!

 

 

 

 

City of New Hope

City of New Hope

Celestial spires

Rise high

As angel choirs

Sound, rejoice

Holy saints walk,

Rub elbows

Side by side

 

In a city so rare

Where golden is the air

Encircling every face

Settling, leaving a trace

Of its shining glory

 

Walls there

Sheer, translucent

Rainbowed in ever

Changing colors

Saints live, worship

In joy with each other

 

The nearness, life of

Their God

Filling every crevice

Perfection’s glory

Fulfilling every wish

 

Throne room of

Grace

Three working as one

Joy lifts each face

To see their God

Forever

 

My human words

Are inadequate to say

Express the glory

Of even just one day

Within this place

Where perfection holds

Its complete sway

 

The world’s divine God

Lives here

Abolishes every care

Hungry, yearning

For you to dare

To aim for such a place

Reach higher

While you still have the time

He sits enthroned,

Waiting

For you to reach for

Him & His home transcendent,

This Heaven’s light sublime!

 

 

Fragility

KODAK Digital Still Camera

 

Fragility

Frail and pale
I lean ever outwards
Searching
Will this emptiness
Never end?

But I am better
Now
Older, wiser
Very more blessed

Realizing
Sooner rather
Than later
I will be reunited
With the one True Father
In life’s great hereafter!

Perfume

 

Perfume

Jasmine, Lilac
Honeysuckle in
Full bloom
Scents of earth
Created by You
Bringing Your Face
Into a closer view

And so, this
Essence
Scent of your
Glory, Beauty
Power
Follows, surrounds
Your Presence

Evidence of this
On Moses’ face
Descending from
The mountain
bearing the mark
Of your Holy Grace

It took a veil
to hide
This Perfume, Glory
That resides,
Surrounds each step
& at Your side

Today let us remove
The veil
Look fully on Your
Glory
Gaze
with deeper longing
Into this cloud

Of your perfume
Sweet scent of
Your Very Self
As we achingly await
To pass through
heaven’s gates
Enveloped by
Your love,
& alive again
in your embrace.
