Immortal Dream

    From heaven’s heights come drifting down
    God’s blessings upon our grim sphere;
    They grow and twine, then to pursue,
    all mankind’s hopelessness and fear.

    God shields us from celestial glow
    as lighted orbs display their force;
    Now sightlessly we tread below,
    while every star fore runs its course.

    As earthly mortals we reside
    in a realm of heavenly law,
    where all creation must abide
    within the lines our Lord shall draw.

    Here, every season dies and fades,
    from falling leaves to fallen snow,
    and all God’s beauty ever made
    is called on, and then asked to go.

    The finest soft clouds drift away,
    the ocean waves end at each shore,
    and every new recurring day
    gives end to what has been before.

    But sometimes, when the heavens pause
    we see a gleaming golden ray
    sneak forth and burst the filmy gauze,
    to light our path, direct our way.

    Then with fresh eyes, to see a new
    perspective on reality,
    as heaven’s golden hem peeks through,
    we focus on eternity.

    To ponder the celestial way,
    where all God’s beauty can be found,
    with all creation’s on display-
    As part of one eternal round!
