silver cord


we are drawn from our sleep
to move through God's creation,
a dreaming viewer
of the eternal mystery.

our spirits fly
in disregard of aerodynamics,
travelling like an idea
through realms of eternal thought.

yet on these intuitive journeys
that skim the face of time,
we see through the filter
of our daily reality.
remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come ... remember him, before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to god who gave it. ecclesiates 12 niv.**
