Where Rapture Lies (Revised) Lead me O Great Spirit to vistas yet unseen, those close at hand and found by sailing wondrous far. Release my soul over waters of your seas then out to ceaseless burning fires of stars and down to ocean’s depths, and deeper still to find again completeness and relief. Then, flung beyond the galaxies and time, bring me back again to earth to watch a leaf unfold from fractal patterns as innate in worlds we know as those we cannot see. You give a luminary crèche to contemplate in Your temple of the sky and cries of birds who know where rapture lies. |
