-Reach-

A billion stars reside in infinite space
Born, dying, forming;
Gods ride the ethereal lights
Coming closer to Man, then
Running astray, just out of reach.

Leaving footprints in the sand
And diamond glitter upon trees
Water’s depth once touched by Them
Yet, they are so out of reach.

A blast of light comes raining down
Scorching ground and mind;
Death upon a midnight star
One God has chosen to set free
Coming closer, closer to Man.

Leaving magic in the breath
In the heart of mortality
Shadows guide, one man can see
Yet, He’s there so out of reach.

And we spend a lifetime
Reaching Him.

There is so much treasure here that I have missed!  Loved the ponderous gentle quality of this...and I agree, summed up very nicely!

your imagery in this is amazing ...beautiful visions
this is very well written...
and the message of this is very well conveyed and wisdom kissed
excellent writing ...
take care

I looked into the sky for my anthem
The words and music came through
But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen
Looking into you
