The Nobility

I don't know

I don't care

I can't see how or when

I just believe

I know it will come

I know it will be beyond imagination

No more milling in the outer courtyard

No more gazing at the gates from without

We're going into the palace

I belong there, so do you

Our feet fit on the ornate floor

Our eyes are called to drink in

All the beauty of the throneroom

The scepter is extended to us

The sacred scroll is open

Plead your case to the Judge

The King alone knows when

He waits for us to move

Daring to enter the inner court

My feet burn to move

Though sometimes I feel frozen

Yet my feet are not mine alone

One greater than I

Owns them more than I

We will dance together

Kissed by the reflection of priceless gems

Caressed by the sound and light of flawlessness

Bathed in unfathomable glory

Stepping into the truth of identity

Resting in the river of peace

Flying over the bedrock of reality
