The Heart of Day 

by Rebecca Weber

Oh, for the day when time’s cold rule is lifted—
that day that is no day, and neither night;
when what are now dark boxes of existence
break forth in endless choruses of light;
when holy dreams shall blossom forth as rivers—
unchecked by fibered dams of time and space.

Oh, for the day when good shall see no ending:
ability and passion interlaced
to form a vibrant tapestry of glory—
fulfilled in light through grace all undeserved;
where now holds yesterday, today, tomorrow;
and every squared-off corner shows up curved.

O Father, haste the day when time is loosened,
and all things are compelled to ring Your throne—
where kneeling, I shall know eternity:
the heart of day that is as yet unknown.
