Author's Notes: "The Pilgrim's Ghost of a Thousand Heavenly Dreams," is a very special collaborated effort between my colleague, Liam McDaid, and myself. Suffice it to say, that we both view this particular Tercet as a special walk into a heavenly vision of a celestial magnificence with stark overtones of religious enchantment, metaphysical wonder, and metaphoric symbolism. Enjoy the walk!! (Gary Bateman - October 10, 2018)

The Pilgrim’s Ghost of a Thousand Heavenly Dreams Looking through a magical dewdrop we now see an enchanted Chandelier, liquid-sparkling pure, where a mystical quicksilver Mirrors a living-moonlight reflection of a thousand radiant stars. These stars are heavenly focus points that reflect the celestial Magnificence of Almighty God’s prescient intention, whereby all Cosmic music forms a clockwork of ticks-tocks of a certain vision. This vision streams and sounds throughout the cosmos entire on Star beams with the dimension, power, and force of Almighty God, Whilst casting a glorious panoply of light that illuminates the darkness. The reach of God’s eternal light into this deep-dark void of the cosmos Is known as “The Pilgrim’s Ghost of a Thousand Heavenly Dreams” that Has an undeniable metaphorical place in mankind’s collective psyche. This ethereal, eternal ghost by God’s own direction on our mortal Earth, Allows for mankind’s curious interest in exploring the deepest-darkest Crevasses of the oceans and the silent sacred secrets of the cosmos itself. This ethereal, eternal ghost as resident in mankind’s consciousness fuels Man’s desire, as divinely inspired, to see ourselves as a mirror-image of God Himself, fulfilling God’s desire that our souls shall ascend one day to Heaven.
