We begin from flesh
Return to the earth as bone
Awaiting entrance
Hoping, as we, mere mortals
End, with the sheer grace of God
Join Sue, every Thursday, as she delights us with a new photo (or two)!

Beyond the archway, across the rocks
Where mist does linger and flowers flock
A climb, thousands of miles to the top
The mountains create a beautiful backdrop
Snow covered, white, against the bluest sky
I journey to my cathedral, in the heavens, high
My worldly place, an earthen sanctuary
Where I can go to, beyond the contrary
Of inhumane faces, and misguided beings
A place I know my God, is ever so freeing

Contentment fills her restless mind
Slowly she steps, without care
Unafraid of the man who is leading her blind
Neptune awaits for her there
She colors his realm with a gentle caress
As he heaves a watery sigh
Her exquisiteness he must now possess
Underneath his liquid sky
Salacia, beautiful queen, sublime
He has fallen for her ruse
Quenched forever in perfect rhyme
She is one with her god, his muse

Rest easy now, my dear friend
Let the angels be your wings
To carry you, safely home
Where the carolers do sing
Songs, to lift your heavy heart
So you know you’re not alone
Music, the heavens will impart
Hear the gentle trumpets blown
Rest easy now, my dear friend
Far away from the world at war
For God has lifted you up to Him
Your burdens are no more

They are the children of our future
Though unaware of what’s ahead
They are the many reasons
That hatred must be shed
They are lights, in this wretched world
Shining brightly, against darkened eyes
The ones who claim the lives of others
Simply because they despise
The chance the world could blossom
If we only practiced peace, and love
So the light that shines from those below
Will also shine, from God, above
