The Amethyst Gate


The Amethyst Gate

                    Your old men shall dream dreams.
                               Acts 2:17

You came in to the City of Light
through the Amethyst gate and I
through the gate of Topaz.  Together
we read the Great Book of Life to find
our names and the names of those we love.  
Trumpets sounded their songs of joy.
Angels sang praise through streets of gold.
The Bride and her Bridegroom greeted us there
at the wedding feast where night is unknown:  
Welcome.  Welcome our friends.  This dream
is without beginning of days or end
of years where time never was.
