I sit upon the porch of the gods
To stare through Heaven's door.
Into the sky of what's to be
And the reflections of what has been.
My feet have now tread upon trails now past
And the world lays open in beckoning dreams.

The sun now sets on but one day
To rise eternal for ever more;
Like the hopes of a child young,
Whose eyes awaken for the first time
To gaze upon expectant wonders
Of a world thrown open in beckoning dreams.
