Sunrise

There is no sunset in God's land.
One lives in the bright morning ever
new, ever young, waiting for nothing,
wanting nothing, but content in the
moment of light.

There is no sunset in God's land,
where one rests for the first time,
off the line of battle, taking deep
breaths of air newer than the
first days of earth.

There is no sunset in God's land.
You and I will both be young again,
both inside and out, full of new life
where all dreams meet and desires
are met in grace.

There is no sunset in God's land,
only the Light of Him Who is Light,
no sun, no moon, only the shared
illumination of love.  One must learn
to stand in light.

There is only dawn in God's land,
the sweet colors of duck egg blue
and pink-orange meaning life, new
ever, new, like on that first day
we knew we loved,

And were loved.
