To Peer In

To Peer In 

Allowed to be given this life that we had no choice

 A beating heart testifies of life resident we heard its voice 

When taken away by choice, if not, allowed to be taken

To face An Impenetrable darkness all be forsaken 

Immersed in A Light that consumed even to our destruction 

 A Light so bright, A Darkness so deep as beyond all conception 

 The One, Source of Life, Ancient, An Essence felt everywhere

Nowhere where You are not, for You are everywhere 

You are nothing and You are everything, we eagerly wait to hear 

We venture to discern even as one in close proximity looked searchingly 

What was not allowed to be known that would cause one to covet selfishly 

To desire to be as God, oh so foolish in deludedly forgetting 

A creature's deception for worship due to its Creator is a mystery within 

We peered with a vain vision to endeavor to understand 

Eyes that see dimly were not made to behold the invisible at hand

Those seen are only a figment of like creatures Imagination 

Eyes have not seen nor ears heard even thoughts imagined until our consummation

Untold realities only prepared for those willing to be one in love

Given glimpses as when a presence left shadows to raise the dead 

Just by thought mended broken bodies whose body was broken as bread

These frail frames fail, in desperate attempts to hold the eternal

While given to time not meant to last, the light of the body so abnormal 

A spirit of another dimension, so much more profound 

In an empty tomb unlike others given to time, a body cannot be found

We will glow as light so the flesh of time will be uncovered 

As Moses in such an awesome presence had to be covered

Questions not asked to show us this glory when in One

Immersed in love not to be destroyed but to be at one

No cleft of a rock to hide as allowed to peer at our utmost desire 

Annihilated in One only to have all we can now admire

In awe of such a presence where matter vanishes away

Where everything is contained, the substance of everything now gives way

Where the light and the darkness are one and the same

Time loses its meaning eternity in outflow supremely reigns 

Life unburrowed, underived, at its source its very essence

This matter we gladly lay down for a greater 

Returned to dwell in an eternal presence as only our maker

We sought to understand, to grasp the meaning of our being

In visions of hope still blinded and left without seeing 

It is not for us to comprehend or even understand 

Insanity steps in for what are we left with, so limited at our command

We peered in to be left in awe by what we thought we saw

It's a privilege to be given a glimpse and still, there will always be so much more

An opportunity to lay down our lives for the ultimate companionship 

It will always be left for us to simply worship
