Molecular Jesus

Mountains reach up through clouds Half way between Earth and heaven To grow slower over vast tracks of time Rocks seek snowflakes coming down They pray to them from atmospheres To bring them home together One by one forever Down to size where they belong Catch them before they go wrong Lost in clouds forever melted Mountains feel the light Waters flowing over them Rivers churning to the valley down Snow flakes go through children fingers Play before they slip away in flight to land On sleepy pine trees by the timber line Like holy host frozen on the tongue Caught among the faithfuls hunger Lost in deeper meanings melting souls Heaven is a place to gather souls So vast and wide just above the tundra Snow mounds fold into the mountains Drifting, once elevated at that height Falling all too far from grace Small fragile bodies drift apart for now They will come again together one by one Bring us to our senses where we belong Like the One who came before Will come again once more Cold stands alone forsaken for the moment Before and after are the same in heaven The finest particles are formed atomic The final work on every molecule occurs Solids, concepts, pure thoughts dwell His name etched on every cell The final word is spoken
