If Heaven is more than simply a place,

If pictures of God evolve evermore,

If love is affirmed as life’s highest grace

The mystery remains, the sacred expands

To gift compassion’s transforming embrace.

Must God be confined to humanoid form?

The Cosmos perceived as ours to control?

Should arrogant striving serve as a norm?

The mystery remains, the sacred expands

The ways compassion can heal and transform.

When God is a word whose boundaries dissolve,

When Paradise dwells in depth’s of the mind,

When sharing delights and wonders evolve

Our faith will increase as silence reveals

The threads of ways that the myst’ries unfold.
