The Sounds of Earth in Heaven

The letter is the sun, 

And the earth is my heart.

Ten years of love,

In a dreary dark night. 


Throughout this day,

Is a flower of my heart.

From which I flow and blossom,

Upon this gushing moon. 


Astounding as it is, 

I see love beyond itself. 

From the sounds of earth in heaven,

To the silver stars above. 


I place myself within,

The dancing of the moon.

For the love of the sun and its light,

Is the fabric of this earthly might.


The music is our gift,

A tune for each to love. 

From the sound of the mellow flowers,

To the thread beyond the stars.


I see the wedding of a golden stone,

Upon this tree from a silver moon.

For this is the sound,

Of music from the stars.


I see in spirit,

The ocean so clear.

Upon this beach of silver grace,

Is the song of hearts and pearls. 


So glorious is thy washing,

From all thy lovely waves.

For this the music of heaven,

Shall play upon the ground.  


I kiss the earth beneath,

From the passion of the stars.

From now until forever, 

Is the sound of lovely grace.
