I watched and beauty did appear Of that that pales the dream of men The mind from blank, to one so clear An arch of colours came again From where the lucent treasures lay Beneath the rainbow mist, today As vibrant as the call to young The butterflies that belly churn It’s reach of wide with light begun As seven colours came to burn As tall and wide as cities be Was Heaven’s bridge for all to see The trees beneath, with wind did dance But humbled to what high had come While all about just stood with glance Until the mist and sun were done I watched with eye and inner thought A painting such is never bought And now when I’m in memories eye In ponder on my life and day That coloured sight does come on by And peace again does come my way And I await with chance and time Again when Heavens Bridge is mine |

Rick...beautifully written heaven's bridge. They do seem like a gift at times, coming at just the right time and then leaving the memory to light when needed. |
