In search of love, through shadow gone
Caught 'up', then faraway
Cross galaxies, losing no time
On worlds eons away
Blazing a trail no meteor
Could ever hope to match
Pass through the timeless doors of om
That never knew a latch,
Outdistancing the speed of light
My thoughts were never seared
By all the suns I bounced upon
Through millions of our earthly years.
Then resting on a mountain top
By darkness never touched
I recognized a still small voice
The one I'd longed for oh so much;
Then that is when my only love
Revealed Himself to me
And welcomed me into His world
For all eternity.

Magnificent forms in a world that once was black
Are bright shining orbs. There's nothing they lack
Revealing to me that life holds abundant treasure
Beyond comprehension, outdistancing all measure
Lending me chiseled vision, as through a cat's eye
Exquisite beauty is found in the clearest night sky
Stars are wondrous gifts; a fact no one can belie
