outstretched like the leaves of a sunstar
outnumbered by trembling lights we are
across a shimmering landscape
echoes on juggernaut wings
dark drums of terrestrial gods waging war

surrounded by phantom oceans
riverlike, from solid cities we run
into a menacing future
along the fulcrum of tidal forces we ride
despair and the glimmer of hope is alive

higher than the fever blue atmosphere
farther than the throw of light
is the reach of God's love

burning out like the death of a sunstar
eclipsed by revolving shadows we are
beneath immeasurable darkness
a slow unraveling light
one hope, one absolute survives

higher than the fever blue atmosphere
farther than the throw of ultrasilver light
wider than the stretch of the horizon
deeper than the atom's heart
is the reach of God's love
