The flower opening- Copyright Robert Fullarton 2016

The flower opening
Like God’s love to an open mind

The generations have risen and deceased
Like moulds to mournful dust
But the soul aspires to dwell
In the sunshine
Of the one who fashioned the eye
And filled the heart with feeling
It sends all reeling in the nexus of eternity

Like fireflies the faithful
Glow in the din of a summers dusk
Like romance, scented flowers fill us with a perfume
And love unseen, drives minds to courage
Like Knights existing for all times and all places
noble hearts are fashioned and embroidered
on the extremity and intensity of the pursuit
not like an anguished night of desire
but the gulf of all to come, yards and yards
miles and miles, dreaming beyond dreaming
beyond the measuring rod, the firmaments
are not enough for the contents of the promise
and the search goes on beyond the roads of today
past heavy toiled paths, beyond sight, it lies illusive.
