It’s Not a Futile Dream

I stepped out
beneath the platinum sky
and in the distant heavens
I heard the wild geese cry

though the view,
bestowed them not
my heart was sent a-flutter
they titillated thought

the stirrings in my heart
effervescent, yet somehow calm
they seemed to promise spring
and caress me as a balm

the earth beheld a dewness
refreshing as a mist
foretelling of the newness
in a season’s gentle kiss

inside again, I listen
as the singing of the clock
brings us ever closer
with each and ev’ry tock

I settle now, in faith,
though war mongers plot and scheme
the unfolding of His plan
is not a futile dream

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

This is very beautiful  ... and His dream is not a futile dream.
Spring can enter our hearts and spread out to the world.
