Always And Forever

Bribed with a little sunlight and a few prismatic tints, we bless our Maker, and stave off his wrath with hymns. - Thoreau

basking amidst hallowed, atomic incandescence

his loving arms wrapped around me

still unable to grasp the full essence

still allowing me to be

making my blind eyes to see

despite the icy, darkness of my sin

the door ajar

always willing to let me in

hope and eternity draw nearer, as hell and damnation tumble far

in the divine presence of he who breathes light into a star 

Author's Note

"It is not when I am going to meet him, but when I am just turning away and leaving him alone, that I discover what God is. I say, God. I am not sure that that is the name. You will know what I mean." - Thoreau
