The Miracle Is Worth The Wait

a welcome pause in the struggle
magnificent break in the clouds
enjoy the rest, tired angel
restore your strength far from the crowds

you're hard at work, we've seen you go
you deserve some time in the sun
don't rush to return to the flow
you will get there in the long run

today tomorrow is unclear
yet it's no reason to worry
lay your burden, downshift the gear
of the castle raise the levy

a household of visionaries
each with a better life in sight
good intended missionaries
inspired dreamers sharing their light

among the messengers divine
draw nourishment from melodies
on a bed of roses recline
as notes trigger the memories

jerusalem opens its gates
to let you see the golden tree
that patiently for you awaits
you will claim it when you are free

and in this holy company
recollections resurfaces
of an ascension uncanny
recreated from its traces

let the present unblock the past
which holds the key to the future
open the channels will broadcast
the brilliance of your true nature

the exercise is demanding
but magic warrants the process
in the place where it is leading
you'll savour the taste of success

observe your mind, reacher of goal
can you recall the inception
how was this script that hurts your soul
ever granted activation

the good hearted in their growing
at heaven's door often they knocked
all of the time never knowing
that the entrance was never locked

how long before they realize
that it is through their own choices
that they stay out of paradise
and orchestrate their own losses

ignorance of their own power
is architectural weakness
and thus flawed their inner tower
falls to pieces under the stress

but it always rises back up
and defects are slowly mended
progress is not about to stop
nor will perfecting be ended

there's a new world to establish
a new order to crystallize
a skyward ladder to finish
an uprising to organize

the inventor is working still
building an ultra light airplane
when it will fly above the hill
the aircraft will relieve all pain

completion of this new design
world peace forever will ensure
the zoo keepers will all resign
and follow the monkeys kosher

never give up you shining star
don't succumb to the daily gloom
of this world joy heals ever scar
and ripens each fruit to full bloom

grow your feathers and keep your smile
surrender to sincerity
steady go for that extra mile
and you will soar to liberty

onward to complete harmony
you can trust that it is your fate
you have a date with destiny
the miracle is worth the wait
