The Afterglow
I yearn and thirst
For that one special price
That is more precious than gold
The longing for
The constant presence of my
Eternal bridegroom
Is ever fresh and hot
Engulfing me
In its intensity
It is a holy hunger
It is pure
I yearn and long
Yet, I have not touched
The substance of what
I desire so much – His constant manifest presence
I see Him and I hear Him
But the ultimate
Is to bask in His constant glory
And live in the afterglow
Of His great love
I will never give up
As long as I have breath
In me
For hope is my oil
And propeller
Towards what I desire
Desire is what takes us
Into constant prayer
And setting out time
To wait upon Him
Desire, hunger and thirst
Will propel us
Into basking in His glory
And shining in the afterglow
Of divine kiss and fellowship
Never give up
On your hopes and dreams
Even when it seems unattainable
Because it is better to
Keep striving for success and glory
And never give up
Than never to try all
Or try and give up along the way
As for me
I press on
Towards the great price – The afterglow of His glory
