"AND I SAW A NEW HEAVEN"

Revelation 21:1

Alice Troxell McCoun

This is the dawn to mortals: A ray
Of light along the rim of day
Unfolds, and as the night subsides,
The glory of the morning rides
The sky, while colors interplay.

Yet when mortality—at bay
Before enlightened thought—gives way,
When faith to understanding glides,
This is the dawn!

Nor is there any power to stay
The glory spiritual truths convey,
As rich nuances God provides
Herald the day when thought abides
In Love. Revealed for now—for aye—
This is the dawn.
