Do not gaze upon this shell in awe

For I am still incomplete

When viewed through eyes made of flesh

And blood

See me as I truly am instead

Through the angel eye of your higher head

And in the radiant smiles we share

Do you dare listen to the Voice within

Akin to the silent song we sing in Christ

Are you ready to stay tuned all the time

To leave the rest behind

Where they belong

Until they are ready to sing love’s song

Hear not the imperfect sound of lips

For this is what trips the blind into mistake

Take for your guide the inside track

Which leadeth us to the blessed moment

Of our perfect new beginning

And worry not that I am afraid

To hold the image of your true self

In the pocket of my hidden heart

So

Then

Let us start

Let us do and be in love

For we are indeed ready

To accept and receive the kept promises of God

John Christopher
