This is probably not exactly what Bob had in mind. It was though, what I was dreaming of when I wrote it.


  "Dreaming of my everlasting"


Dreaming of the everlasting, in the quietude
of a warm summer day
I find repose and in meditation, my thoughts
wander far away
Beyond to where the sky appears, charmed
with billowy clouds of white
There to bask in glorious visions of
celestial light

A canopy of sapphire blue, majestically veiled
in ethereal beauty
The soul ventures into the mystical realm
of fathomless mystery
And as all dreams coalesce into one, in the
everlasting ethers
What is it like to see, through the eyes
of forever

Perhaps it is not meant for a mortal man
to know
Or is it the viable destination of our
very soul
Marvel and wonder nonetheless, for the
river of life flows there
And the clouds are they not sailing off
into somewhere

So fly, o soul fly, fly exultantly ever
so higher
Into the deepening blue skies of
purifying fire
To the land transcending time, where the
sinless angels are
Beyond the sullen shadows of the valley,
earth and star

There where the Word is Faithful, and
love is true
Where all things are become. now and
forever as new
And the very atmosphere will radiate
and shine
Touched by Omniscient Presence of the
Eternal Divine
Next challenge, "Someday soon, may we all be there"...

Josh,

To be honest, I don't know exactly what I was expecting here but, regardless of what that might have been, your poem surpassed anything that I could have possibly imagined and was to me most Wonderful! most Glorious! and most Picturesque! God has blessed you with a Heavenly talent my poet friend and thank you (thank you) for sharing it here with us.

-Bob

This is certainly a beautiful poem, no matter the inspiration.  Joyce
