Timeless

Feb 10, 2015 By Sara in Prose Tags: beauty, dreams, eternity, God, life

I fell into a dream and woke in a land I’d never seen. It was golden, and the waters called me home. I felt the sky come into me, caressing my soul and the chains that bore me down. My heart thundered with every flash of the living universe, and I realized how tiny my being was as it trembled and broke into little stars.

I found a reason to live this way, but I found myself grasping onto the world I was born into. It stole the parts of me, precious and deep, and I spent a lifetime searching for what was lost. God told me it was over, it was alright. But I never let go of what I had never been given.

In histories and ages gone by, I know we travelled across time to come this far. But I remained in a reverie of my own, living my desires on a plane of least resistance, a mindless existence.

And as I forgot and sought the caverns and wonders of every word bespoke to me, I let it define and cut away the edges of who I was. I gave myself up like wasted wares in the world’s sordid marketplace. I wanted perfection in a time and place so fallen and desolate our souls would only die.

I found the answers in an ancient book, and wondered how my soul would live. In this world, I discovered many things, both wonderful and terrible. It went into me and burned like fire. But then I looked unto the golden light and knew of heaven, for the very first time.

I awoke, into the steady pulse of a breathing, brilliant world. There I found my dreams resting in a better place…there I found God.

Pandemonium

We are one In a black and white world From thorns to crowns We bleed in colour A man’s breath Is God’s breath We desecrate His image When we remain silent Brimming and brewing A broken world bleeds Mercy like rain For every shattered heart We are dwarfed by indifference Shadowed by fear They march(…)
The Whitened Harvest

“Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” John 4:35 It was a seven-year harvest, and we could not have known the beginning from the end. I began, steeped in dreams of publishing grandeur, a young innocent. One who never considered the(…)
A Dream I Once Had

Time and waves This stilled heart, embraced Upon the deep ocean, my voyage drew the light of stars Every day was eternal I rested in fortresses of sand, wind, and wave They carried and filled All the broken cracks in me I wondered in quiet towns that lay in dreams Waiting to wake up They(…)
Skyscrapers

I grew up in skyscrapers A divine frontier, a home in the stars Nights of warm ember, lights shine forever It was you and I In a carousel dream Childhood melds into leaves, afternoons in the sun Dappled and strong, the bird that calls Echoes down marble halls A light in my room (…)
Redemption

The firmament of time, Where memories of deep Shimmer and fade As we walk into a new millennium I was lost and undefined When I gave all I had into words That would change my life Forever. I looked into the mirror And the girl was far, far gone into the vale of(…)
The Pursuit

The Pursuit was a wonderful and new experience in my life. This was my first time attending a ministry training conference. I was in a foreign place, away from loved ones and everything I knew to be home. I’d never been to London, Ontario, and was excited for it. I did not know that a(…)
Atonement

One year fragile The heart remembers her dreams It was an age gone by When desperate desire culminated into fantasy and delirium We came true at last. I remember every emotion, every day We live in memory Each golden moment treasured in the sun I found these pieces in your eyes. These tears stain(…)
