as we metamorphose
Line of inquiry:
“being mistook we burnt the book
thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest
touched by spirit, our body shook
by God’s light blest as we undressed”
as we metamorphose
light lingers all around the heavenly realm
one thinks white is boring - is snow?
and what of the brightest spirit,
is she rainbow, all colors bequeathed
at heaven’s behest?
the pages and pages, bound,
pulled from the un-dusty shelf
the fire tests each moment
not only by its result, but by
its heart. all works in flames,
but those in the palms of Christ
create gold, silver, and bronze
home is where we rest and dwell
we thought we were home on earth
that is the old earth and at our abode
some couldn’t step out of their nest
life had beat them up - figuratively,
sometimes literally. home is where we rest
our soiled clothes we left behind
when we saw the new set, we realized
we looked as if we’d been deep in mire
quite covered by euphoria, no longer
anxious, fearful, forgetful, forensic
the glow eclipses that of fairy dust
our feet forget themselves and walk
on water, on air, on clouds, wherever
for ever and ever. are lips can’t help
but praise our Creator in paradise
