The Reach of Heaven
by Michael Romani

Of all these shapes
That form our hopes and fancy
There is the Kingdom of Heaven
Waiting on us lastly

An assessable empire of benevolence
Where love reigns supreme
And mankind puts aside violence
In favor of the ways of God

Gentle spirits come to inhabit
A resemblance of simplicity
In that confidence of hearts
No longer troubled by Satan's duplicity

There attained in its full growth
Sweeter than the fruits of imagination
Is that grasp of deepest discernment
And we are no longer shamed by our destination
