The fields alive, glowing

The fields alive, glowing

The fields alive, glowing

ablaze in the afternoon failing

smooth like the crystal sea

the place reserved in heaven

before the throne of God.

Looking toward the mountain, westward,

shortly before the day’s sunset

a sea of liquid gold

the ice almost blinding

filling my sight, my view.

A sea of liquid gold

alive, shining brightly

the fields off into the distance

bleeding the purity of color

the whole world aglow.

Maybe like Isaiah, the prophet,

seeing a foretaste, an image

smooth like the crystal sea

the throne room, the presence

the dwelling place of God.
