I watch earth share itself
In a symphony of cascading gold,
Illuminating the space where
Mere mortals are not allowed
On rhythm of eternal peace
Oceans stand still, waiting with open arms
The warmth of the fading sun,
Swept by wonders of magnificent light
Western gates swing open
And twilight’s veil of ember shadows
Falls across the day’s closing eyes,
Reflecting these moments of splendor
In the blink of time this old, wooden pier
Becomes the road to wherever my heart wants to go,
A land beyond dreams
Where I feel safe, loved… at home
Here, beauty is frozen in sudden immortality,
Defining place and time
With Divine expression
