Stood before the pearly gates


I have stood before the pearly gates
rising, to be with Christ
to walk on that ancient road
with Cleopas and the other
going to Emmaus
to that moment of awakening
with the living Christ, present
yet pulled back down
into the world, the depths
to go in His name
to bear my witness freely, going
being salt of this earth
and a light to this world
