The ocean calls my name –
It shouts for my existence.
So, I appear before the water’s edge
And walk forward into it.
Likewise, the heavens declare the glory
Of the king above the earth,
And all of mankind knows
The Master rules with love.
Though kingdoms rise and fall,
Capitulation will not bring forth
A resolution of timed response
Against forces that persist and prevail.
Times will seek the heavens’ reach
And draw unto the world,
When kingdoms fall – the all-in-all –
Yet end will never come.
“Shine forth the heavens,” glory speaks,
“And give unto the end.”
We will see the endless round
And start it once again.
Time will pace itself throughout
The rounding of the sun
And all throughout heaven’s hold
Hate will be undone.
Capture not the rising light
But follow where it may
And in its brief beauty short,
“Glory on this day.”
The range of rage will rise and fall
It casts about to grab,
Yet when it finds its wanted catch
It will forever mourn.
Be still, bestow, allow the love
Speak and tell the truth.
When all is told in midday’s breath,
The world will be subdued.
Ancient words do greet us now,
And resting on their souls
Are utterances deeply drawn
From lands that’re ne’er foretold.
