On The Doorstep Of Glory

____

O what beauty

Twisting and turning

In the name of self preserving

All to futility

____

O what proximity

All I see is beauty

Your view breeds jealousy

But for the crushing reality

____

O what vitality

Every portion of you dancing

To the song

Creation is providing

Yet looks can be deceiving

Not living

But lying

____

O what legacy

Once flowing now frozen

Every effort now stolen

Your end eerie

____

O what tragedy

To be found dead

On the doorstep

Of all this glory

____

O what warning

How close some of us come

To surrender to the One

May it never be said of me

That I was found dead

On the doorstep of glory
