Season For God

How I long to lay with you 
in the long grass and gentle 
light of an eternal day 
where flowers bloom 
in more colors 
than our eyes can count. 

Soft petals against our skin 
and sweet air for our lungs, 
a singing creek flowing 
into a lagoon of velvet water 
like a warm spring 
made for you and me. 

There is rest for the weary 
when we’re no longer 
in need of rest. 
There is hope for the yearning 
when that hope 
is in our midst. 

One day I’ll look into your eyes 
When there is no more night 
and I will see a new world there 
reflected in perfect light. 

I can see you smiling 
among the vivid wildflowers 
as the One who made us brings 
forth the glimmer of creation 
to reveal the petals of our hearts 
forever in bloom.
