Echoes From Beyond

White snowflakes glisten, bound in crystal bond
Reflecting sunshine and a brighter light -

That Composer in whom sheep may safely graze
Reveals his music in the chorus joint.

In the cars, cathedrals, and cantatas
Wrought by man, that piece of work of breath and dust,
Echoes the pattern of He who taught us
The beauty and the dream for which we lust.

As I sketch with child's hands some grand design
A Father's hand clasps mine and guides the line
