The World Beyond the Veil

Floating through the ceiling, I rise
I can see the bright blue sky and 
     floating cotton balls
I continue rising outside of earth's
     atmosphere
Traversing space, I see a blue
     planet draw near
Quickly, I am lowered to the surface
I land on a lone island amidst
     a vast ocean
The island is only thirty feet across
     and ten feet wide
I see a large sun in the distance
Then, a wondrous creature from the
     deep emerges a quarter mile
     away
It is like a gargantuan worm colored
     with green and yellow scales
Another beast surfaces, with the
     head and body of a plesiosaur
     but colored bright blue with 
     large yellow eyes
A massive bird flies by
It has the body of a large horse,
     but with four large wings instead
     of legs
It has the neck of a brontosaurus
     and the head of a large seagull

An eagle lands next to me on the island.
     It stands seven feet tall with a 
     twenty foot wingspan.
It looks at me with firey eyes, then
     stoops for me to climb it
I mount this eagle, and it takes off
     with tremendous speed.
We fly miles over the ocean, until we
     reach a large land mass.  It has
     mountains, jungles, a desert,
     beautiful beaches, snowy mountains,
     grassy hills, waterfalls, and an 
     active volcano with a river of lava.
I ask the eagle if we can land on a 
     grassy mountain leading down into
     the jungle.
We change our course and head for the 
     hillside.
Upon landing, I dismount the eagle
     and run down the mountain.
Inside the jungle are lush green plants
     and tropical trees.  Vegetables and 
     fruits are in abundance.  A lily pad
     on the ground moves, and a family
     of bulbous, green, bioluminescent 
     frogs jump out.  They are each
     about the size of a grapefruit.  
I continue walking and see a purple
     bunny-like animal with two 
     companions.  Their purple ears
     hang down to their face, and the 
     bunnies stand about four feet tall.
On the tree next to me, a plump, lime-
     green glowing caterpillar is about
     four inches in diameter and a foot
     long.  
There are glowing flowers of pink and
     green and purple and yellow.
I lift a plant to see the soil.  I can see
     different colored minerals and 
     sediments in it.
I look back to see the eagle change
     forms into a white tiger with 
     flashing eyes like lightning.  I mount
     the tiger and ride on further.
I then dismount to gaze in awe at the
     detail in the tree bark.  There are 
     so many mysteries and treasures to
     discover in this foreign land.
I stay off of the tiger so I can slowly
     explore.  He assures me I can ride
     or fly with Him anytime I want.  I
     thank Him and continue studying 
     the wondrous trees, plants, and 
     animals.

Eloise

A word from heaven has come to our home
A cute and cuddly bundle of joy
She may not know it yet,
She may not understand,
But she has the ability to 
      suspend time and space

She stops my heart
She makes me forget my concerns
She is the beauty of God born
      from the most beautiful mother
      in the world

Her name is Eloise
