‘I will rise’
Some days..
part of me longs to break free
become unshackled from the earth
shake off dust, soil and toil
relinquish all but new birth
Maybe..
I will gather galaxies, bathe
in a sparkling sea of stars
or journey to other planets
visit Venus, Jupiter or Mars
stride unhindered over mountain peaks
sneak a view in a volcano or two
dive into indigo oceans deep
and climb pathways high and steep
One day..
these limbs will move and lift with ease
and pain will be a mystery
I will rise sky-high, out of sight,
as a balloon flies swift and
bright, then disappears from view
I may..
begin floating near eternal Light
my eyes watching years unravelling
like string, to pull me back
or draw me in, while I’m
travelling closer to You

“We know that when these bodies of ours are taken down like tents.. they will be replaced by resurrection bodies in heaven.. Sometimes we can hardly wait to move ~ and so we cry out in frustration… The Spirit of God whets our appetite by giving us a taste of what’s ahead. He puts a little of heaven in our hearts so that we’ll never settle for less” ~ 2 Corinthians 5:1-2, 4-5 (The Message)
