Visions of Glory
Celibacy begins
with the giving
Of one life to
another,
And continues that
way ever expanding
Until its glorious
end; and then
It continues.
It never was alone
It never will be
The life of heaven
has begun on Earth.
Children in the
playground;
The same in every
age and place,
Sometimes to the
sound of bombs
Sometimes bells.
Still they come
from mother’s womb,
Still they laugh
and play.
Childhood has not
been eradicated
Though here it is
short lived
Before it is
dressed
In the patchwork
rags of adulthood.
But it will return
on a new Earth,
Childhood’s joy and
profound contemplation
Clothing us in
seamless robes.
Celestial light
shining through
The dirty canvas of
this world,
Like the truth in
the heart of a myth,
The meaning wrapped
in a parable,
Something shines in
the luminous gaze of lovers.
That we can fall in
love is a gift from God
And though often
defiled
It still reveals
eternal secrets
To the pure in
heart,
A Lamb
A Bride
New Earth
Everlasting love.
