taste of better things to come

i cursed the day and then i saw
i heard lovely music from a human orchestra
like the sound of clouds moving high over earth
like the sound of melody gorgeous and pristine
rushing waves of wind and water over celestial rocks
that filled my hungry soul
and quenched the burning in my war torn heart
it carried me away and made me think of you
how you're suffering in pain
and how God allows it so
i cried without tears inside
until another sound replaced the lofty one
it matched the feel of the heavy weight on my chest
the one that crushes and my breath takes
my spirit took me across the room and empty space
to where you sat at work
i saw you there doing your task assiged
the violins came in 'n burst upon the scene
as the melody played along with mountain flutes
enshrouded in the fog of alpine dew
i saw you sitting there surrounded by a certain light
like the love not of earth and lust of dust
but light and filling like cool water on parched lips near death
i prayed for your real self
the one i met forty years ago and wed
i looked long over you and let the music play
it came from cyberspace, but may have come from heaven itself
it made me see the one i truly love
though through distractions of my eyes and flesh
i often lose sight of the real you
i heard the still small voice of God's word that said,
remember the bride of your youth
i saw past your worn out state of place in this present time
and slowly let my gaze to go back away
to the place i sit, back to my day at hand
i rested in the thought to love you
and do my part to cleanse my heart
in the life of my king by his strength
who knows everything
when he said, the suffering of this present age
will not everlast, it's utter hard, but will end
your life will truly dawn when you enter in
the kingdom, the things i have prepared for you
the day of eternal life and rest
