To experience a morning in God's love,
it seemed logical to walk the path myriads have trod
in search of this elusive dawn.
And so I went, and oh, surprise!
The path was wide and crowded,
full of curiosity seekers, shoppers and traders
shopping malls and McDonalds and Coca Cola venders
fortune tellers, card readers and analysts,
and Pay phones, compliment of AT&T,
everyone’s version of heaven vying for space…

Confusion and confinement reigned;
curses and cries filled the air
while fights broke out
between those who believed this, not that:
a colourless world, empty of love assailed me
and deep within my heart something said:
"There are greater things beyond this perception,
beyond the common path of the crowds."
but I was afraid of adventure on unfamiliar roads
until a shaft of bright light shot through rainy clouds
and briefly, a luminous rainbow
arched gracefully over dappled fields.

In the rainbow's unmarked path
I saw life as never before seen;
a bold, bright and clean path stretched from view
flanked by green meadows and glittering streams...

God's love is a rare commodity
on the plodded pathways of this world.
You will likely not see it dawn outwardly,
but shining from your heaven within,
you will see it burst forth from the heart.

And once seen it is never forgotten! People are strange these days and getting worse.  Is there anything that they don't fight over?
