We are mortal, we are spirits,
gifted with links to our Father.
There is a golden chain of love
flowing from the Heavenly Courts.
The love we feel is a mixture,
divine and human,
his star dust sprinkled upon us.
Now and then we are drawn
to climb a spiritual mountain,
a journey to both the terrestrial and celestial.
moving to a place called adoration.
We have felt the creature pull of affection,
the waves of infatuation,
the deep call of our humanness,
a binding of souls in a utopia of bliss.
Our mortality blends with a spirit within us,
persons destined to reach for the heavens.
We grow: an infant, a child, a youth…
a figure sculptured by the Father, won by His Son,
finally, a destiny in eternal realms.
