An Astronaut in Blue

The wings wrap-squeeze the sun, animated
With cogent hued uplift, infused with dawn,
And eagle strong; true bold and serrated.
The contrast dance ebon and brilliant swan.
So bright, not pale; choice blends and nothing wan.
Courage and conviction in feathered blades.
Behind the glass, the creation pervades.

And far below, the tender grass afloat;
Diver’s deep sea bubbles like butterflies;
Lime green fishes, its levity devote.
Footsteps of Jesus land worldwide, in guise.
Unmasked serenity without the lies.
For each sharp blade, Father planted the seeds.
He unifies, and separates the weeds.

An astronaut in blue; he’s armored up.
He could be anyone; a him or her.
Climb in to suit, for God’s got you, way up.
It doesn’t matter if you’re an amateur.
First burial in suit; out of inter.
The Spirit’s wings on fire - attached, reborn.
Eternally airborne - glory’s adorn.

See the blossom sunrise; tears wiped away.
Eye eucatastrophe top, bottom, sides;
And nightingales, bluebirds, without doomsday,
Riveting with angel voices. The bride’s
Light glorious; delighted Christ provides.
Celebration - the table’s set, sit down.
Listen to peace and love, with no comedown.

Yes, the marriage supper of the Lamb. I wonder what will be on the menu. Doesn't matter because it will be out of this world. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Way to go. Sara K
