High on the Lord

Do you know what it's like

To sit in the middle of a garden
and be embraced by a cloud?

To open your bedroom window
and smell the mist coming into the room?

To be wrapped in a fog
and see everything as if in a dream?



To witness the dawning of a new day
and see both the sun and the moon in the same sky?

To watch the sun rise and set
amidst whipped-cream and cotton-candy clouds?

To bathe in the warmth of the sun
and dance at the glow of the moon?

To stand on a mountaintop
and touch the sky on tiptoe?

To stare at the night sky
and convince yourself you're in outer space?

To delight at the sight of the morning dew
kissing the soft petals of a newly-bloomed flower?

Or to walk into a labyrinth
but never lose your way
because you hear God's Voice calling out to you?

Or to understand and feel the graces of True Love
in the peaceful silence?

If you do know, I'm sure you'll be keeping all these things in your heart.
