Beyond the Star...

Beyond the star dawn draws ajar

A gate in soundless sweep  

From Heaven’s hold a fount of gold

Spills daylight to the deep

A beckoning of reckoning

Stirs in the human breast

Imploring ‘come’, for none can run

From Time’s untiring test

The morn unchains what still remains

Of all that must yet be

From babbling reams the Unknown streams

In coursing mystery

Its cutting rhyme a pantomime

Of future, present, past

Cascading where we turn to stare

At shadows it has cast

This stalwart surge of sunbeam-splurge

Gleaming on polished sky

Soon fades to banks where fallen ranks

Of soldered moments lie

The worship of our chosen love

Will save us or condemn

Beyond the star dawn draws ajar

Time’s gate to ‘try again’

Thought can unveil a dungeon-jail

Where fear’s ruthless parade

Screams satan-lies, drenching our sighs

With rash mistakes we’ve made

But God unveils what never fails

His tender-loving care

Beyond the star He draws ajar

The proof that He is there

Sometimes discouragement weighs hard

and tries to keep us down

but we must run with diligence

to win the victor's crown

...
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matt.28: 19-20
