Earthbound this husk that I call me Container for what once flew free Not bound by laws of gravity Nor with these eyes of mine did see Once did I see through eyes of grace As I stood in His holy place Beheld with awe His perfect face Before the dawn of human race Sometimes I think I see Him still His voice my heart and mind does fill Instruct's me as I do His will Provides me with unearthly skill He guards me with celestial might Reveals to me the path of right Gives me the strength and will to fight Pervasive evil, mankind's blight My goal His kingdom to restore For eighty years or so before I shall knock upon His door To be transformed and fly once more ------------------ Steven Seaman A burden shared is a burden lightened A life shared is a life enriched |

True, as I too await the hour of the banal transformation for which alchemists have laboured years untold, turning base lead into gold. Alicat |

Thank you all for your kind words... I hadn't thought of this as one of my best yet it got better response than any I have posted! Just goes to show you, you shouldn't be your own critic... that's what everyone else is here for right? |
