Spirit Beyond the Cross #66

Spirit Beyond the Cross In realms where spirit whispers, soft and low, A truth profound, in sacred verse we find: As Christ and cross, in holy union bind, So church's essence, in this symbol, grow. No path to grace, without its shadow cast, The wood and nail, where faith and hope entwine, In every heart, this emblem does enshrine, A testament to love, forever vast. Yet ponder this, a realm beyond the pain, Where crosses bear no weight, no burden sore, A spiritual plane, where souls soar free, In this expanse, our spirits rise again. For in the light, where earthly trials cease, We find a church, in tranquil, crossless peace. -Written by Steven G. Lee (January 15, 2024)
