Eternal Vision

by J Sig Paulson

They know me not who think that I am
only flesh and blood, a transient dweller
on the fragile spaceship Earth
that gave me birth.
For I am spirit, eternal, indestructible,
not confined to space or time
and when my sojourn here is through,
my roles fulfilled, my assignments done,
I will lay aside this spacesuit called my body
and move on to other mansions,
roles, assignments in God's house of eternal life.

So dry your tears, weep not overmuch for me or for yourself.
Set me free in the love that holds us all and makes us one eternally.
Our paths will cross again, our minds and hearts will touch,
our souls will shout with joy and laughter
as we recall the lives we have lived,
the worlds we have seen, the ways we have trod
to find ourselves, at last in God.
