OUR JOURNEY TO PARADISE

–

For all of God’s Children—

And to all those who seek the Shofar:

May He shine upon your soul forever.

May there never be a curse to sever.

May He fill your hearts and minds with joy unencumbered—
Until there is no pain left to measure or endure.

May you never fear to fail or fall.

May all your days be prospered in full.

May you never have to walk alone.

May you never take the hard way home.

May you never choose to let love go.

May you always cleave to the Rock, as the avalanche rolls.

For this is what it means to behold the Power of God. . .

“LOVE IS THE CONSTANT THEME”

–

There awaits for us an Infinite Place––
Where there is no chill or fever or strain;
Where there is no memory of suffering or pain––
Not even a trace;
Of a Place that is free from blemish and blame;
Where all who try to torture and scar––
Shall utterly cease . . . to the utmost star.
No sudden storm, or solar flare from aeons afar;
No fatal tsunami at the end of the shore;
No tears or fears to shed or discard;
To rest in peace forever and ever—
Inside of an Age that cannot be marred.
–
To unite with the One who transcends time;
To abide beneath the Shadow of His Holiness and Light—
Where there is no doubt or tempest or strife;
Where there are no nightmares to dread or affright;
Where there is no angst, no unwanted life;
When all alas is overcome;
When all that remains . . . is to love, and be loved.
–
For Heaven is a chain unshackled—
Where all rejoice relentlessly—
In the glorious resplendence of His Manifold Majesty;
Where there is no darkest hour before that brightest dawn;
Where every spirit is imbibed with a brand new song;
Where there is no need to cast one’s stone;
Where all who love and are loved belong.
–
For Heaven is a Place of belonging.
–
This is His Kingdom on earth to be;
This is what we all should seek;
Where friendships never crumble;
Where the bond shall never break;
Where none shall ever faint or stumble;
Where none again shall ever forsake;
Where there is no dungeon, and no demon to battle;  
Inside of that Place—
Where love does not abate;
Where there is no prejudice;
Where there is no race;
Where all is justice;
Where there is no hate;
Where every life is precious;
Where every soul is saved.

For the alexin of our final cure—
Shall forever then and there endure.
–
It heralds that truth which lives so well;
Is soon to come, shall deep be felt.
–
For in time this truth shall solemnly tell—
As instilled within us, it shall always dwell;
No matter where or when or what or how—
The end of all war—
And the spite of war‘s spell.
–
Unto that day we fervently cleave—
As we labour for the Harvest of those who did not reap;
As each shall be rewarded according to their seed;
When all our ancient enemies—
Shall henceforth then no longer be.
–
Yet the anvil of justice shall remain in the balance—
With the hand that refrains in tender loving-kindness;
To plow from the earth all poison and pestilence—
When every sin shall be consumed—
From the bleeding womb of war‘s dark bloom;
When the Voice of a thousand oceans—
When the Power of a million high tides—
When the Almighty Author of every heart’s devotion—
Shall declare all secret wrong from right—
And quell the troop of terror by night.
He shall rap and tap at ole death’s door—
No more shall mankind lie;
Surcease of sorrow, with peace forevermore—
All the nations shall thus abide.
–
For that star-spangled sun shall in a zillion splendours rise;
Then all will know what the other intends;
A perfect earth, no secret or sin;
A whole new world that never shall end;
Every man, woman and child their gifts shall bring;
For love and truth—
Shall twine remain;
For love and truth—
Shall always win;
When the end of all tears shall thus commence;
The old world shall be rent,
And fade away fast;
The new world will reign,
And forever shall it last;
When the fatal beast of bloody war—
Shall bleed itself—
And cry no more.
–
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying; neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (Revelation 21:4)
