Beyond The Sunset... Poem by Rey Sanidad

Gleaming folds of luster and gold
linger in the eastern sky,
Fleecy clouds of purest tint,
mingle with the purple dye.

Faintly to the dreamy mind
comes the sound of earthly life
Far beyond the shining banks,
come rest from worldly strife.

Through the sunset's misty veil,
now we look with longing eyes,
To behold more beauteous sight
than the evening's glorious skies.

Slowly now the red banks part,
showing what is hidden there.
Flushing hills of shadowy light,
piercing through the darkening air.

Like the rainbow's promise clear,
God has placed His emblem there,
Giving life and trust to all,
love unbounded, rich and rare.

Glimpses of a life beyond
come to each faint, weary heart,
And we long for that bright shore
where the loved ones never shall part.

Strange, that souls should still live on,
hopeless with their hidden pain,
When, would they but read the skies,
heaven and hope would come again.

Though the life be weary spent,
evening brings the glory near
And beyond the sunset's glow,
grand the hills of God appear.
