Within These Eyes (For Colton – Who is a gift from God)

Within these eyes

So blue, so bright

Floating in the stillness

Of God, out of which

All the heavens of creation

Are reflected.

Within these eyes

Is a light, which is exactly

Like the light of God.

A single white point

Pointing to the oneness

Of all creation.

It is a light

Like the Star of Bethlehem

That leads us to the

Christ of Compassion

And the fullness of God.

It is a light of

Unlimited potential,

Of stars and constellations

Stretching

Beyond all human memory

And imagination.

That imagines heaven

Found in a single breath,

Born from the breath

Of God, when the dust

Of the earth was made into man.

That imagines heaven

To be found in a

Mothers embrace,

And a kiss, so full of love

It heals a broken world

And worlds beyond

And worlds beyond.
