The essence of our being
Purpose for life
Meaning for our very existence
All the answers to questions of infinity
Illusive perfection tasted
Yet,the Universe seen in a grain of sand;
The reasons for love and hate
What true beauty is or is not,
Like a drop of water from the oceans
Falls upon the face of a small child at play
Even as hands cup the entire span of all seas and lakes and oceans
With a single spoken Word of their Creator;
He sits on His Throne
A pool of crystal water bath off to the side
All creation seen at a glance in its simple span and depth
From the movements of the largest whales of the seas
To a newborn heart beating in the womb of a new mother
Life simply created
While many others come to a final end;
Each breath and each heartbeat
Fish and birds and plants, everything called animal
Tiny things of bacteria, viruses and biochemistry invisible to the human eye,
Trillions of stars above and beyond
Lost to all vision and true understanding as well.
The conflict of the human will
Struggle between darkness and Light, evil and good
Angelic powers and a kingdom in rebellion;
And the God of Love who sits on His Throne
The Lord Redeemer at His side,
Revelation by the Spirit of God alone as a smile upon a soul,
Wisdom and knowledge as greatest treasures discovered in mercy revealed
Truth that is Life
Love that is power to overcome the world
Peace given that is victory over fallen human nature
The Way of freedom in triumph hand in hand with a humble Shepherd;
Life in its essence is made known
To any and all with open hearts
Willing to bow in reverence
Before the unsearchable Greatness
All the mysteries of our being
Wrapped in trust and faith
Hope that glows in peace within
A precious jewel of wisdom given to the heart and soul
Soon to become a crown upon each head,
Soon to be seen in our Savior's eyes.
