we live with the eternal
existing whilst earth bound,
waking with our senses
fixed firmly to the ground.
the heavens stretch above us
if we dare to change our view
we may catch a glimpse of fullness
as we pause a second or two.
but restless are our struggles,
we wrestle with this dust
that marks our day to dayness
"obligations", "should" and "must".
to walk this life so tethered
the finite that we share,
deaf to words that ageless
beckon us to care,
our souls, no wonder, weary
leave hearts to set in stone
we wander through our twilight
scared, withdrawn, alone.
I will loose my rigid seeing
from steps that I could take
and choose another aspect
my senses to awake
untangled from the finite
liberated from dulled time,
I shall see the sky above me
surreal, sublime, surprised.
so let the will of grace, mercy, love and life be done on this earth
as it has always been;
above, below and around us all.
