As I drift through eternity

"You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and
all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them.
You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you."
NIV Nehemiah 9:6

As I drift through eternity
All pure life do I fully see
Connected to my God and me
As I drift through eternity.

All time and space a point I see
Connecting ev'ry frequency
In God's Creation little me
In joyful praise for all I see.

As I drift through eternity
All pure life do I fully see
Connected to my God and me
As I drift through eternity.

I fly up high God's sky to see
Another pretty frequency
Beyond all stars and galaxies
Though here I am, a spirit, be.

As I drift through eternity
All pure life do I fully see
Connected to my God and me
As I drift through eternity.

And you are in my spirit, free
As you, too, fly along with me
In God we're all just one, you see
A point in God's big loving sea.

As I drift through eternity
All pure life do I fully see
Connected to my God and me
As I drift through eternity.

As long as we all Love and please
Our God will keep us in warm from freeze
Together in a point of ease
We live and love upon God's seas.

As I drift through eternity
All pure life do I fully see
Connected to my God and me
As I drift through eternit.

As I drift through eternity.

hello newell...I was wondering if this was a structured form, as I noticed the repetition of end words in lines 1 & 4 in most, but not all of your quatrains? Interesting format, nevertheless!

Hi Karen,

Gee, I really didn't try for any particular structure. As I was going to fill up with gas, yesterday after dinner, I just started singing the chorus. Over and over. And so when I got home I quickly penned the words and made up verses. So I guess it should be called a song instead of a poem.

Looking back at it, it does have an interesting structure in quatrains with fixed meter and four line rhyme, but I didn't plan it that way. Thank you for your interesting question. Now I am curious.

Silver Streak...This poem is as gentle as a warm, summer breeeze drifting across oceanic waters. Loved the eternity in your words.
