Imagine series
For some, a dream come true
For others, a rest assured
For most, a paradoxical fairytale
In a world caged by time and space
Stupendous infinity beyond brief earthly life
Eternity, a mere movie hypothesis
Solely possible through flights of fancy
The existence of a place beyond the skies
Most imagine it in their dreams
Yet think it a fictitious inaccuracy
Those who know the surety of its actuality,
Picture its glistening golden streets
Trees providing sublime fruits unheard of
The close-minded, cold-hearted sneer
Mocking the hopeful, though they too fear death
Uncertainty grips the depths of their souls
Every day that passes is a day closer to their end
Few are those whose hearts have been opened
To accept the alleged impossible
That death was their fate
But resurrection their rewritten destiny
By believing in the name of the Sovereign Divine
The One who breathed the Universe into being
Who sent the One He loves to rescue the loved lost
The blessed ‘Chosen’,
Not worried about the fleeting moments of today
Nor of the possibility of a tomorrow
For the certainty of a secure forever.
