Fragments of Light

As I walk alone  along a sun-drenched beach thoughts of love flow unbidden through my mind

Like playful dreams they entice me into a world of fantasy of imaginings beyond my ability to control 

I want to fall into these dreams and be lost in them forever  hidden away in a secret place  where the presence of evil  can never again find me 

Entranced I float away on fragments of light rest dreamily upon the clouds  No longer a physical being  I am finally free

No longer tied down by the cruel hands  of a world lost in the darkness of sin I soar away to places unknown by man  to impossible realities  beyond human comprehension 

I am wild and free a being of light  embraced in the warmth of God's love 

Playfully I dance on moonbeams  I race shooting stars  across a universe that never ends

Joy, peace, love fills me I have become nothing more  than a speck in the eye of creation 

Lost, wild, free reality slips from my grasp I enter into a timeless void but there is peace here 

I rest in the hands of eternity where the wheels of time no longer turn  in a place far beyond the reaches of man 

I float silently through forever  a soul adrift among a billion stars  Heaven is just beyond my reach I can feel its glory The love and compassion of God  floods my soul and I long to go to Him to fall forever into His loving embrace but from a place where time is still in motion  where souls are still lost  and pain reigns in so many hearts  I hear the soft whisper of my name 

I look once again towards the glory of heaven  and every part of my being wants to go there  to enter into this painless world of love and peace  but the demands of the earth beckon me home 

A cry of frustration erupts from me as I surrender once more to the earth  and allow it to draw me back  into its heartless embrace 

Reality seizes me takes hold of my heart  and I see that I am once again  walking aimlessly  along a sun-drenched beach  with thoughts of love dancing playfully around the corners of my mind
