BEYOND OUR BREATHING, by                    
First Line: Across the threshold of our garden path
Last Line: That peace which is the earnest of god's will.
Subject(s): Faith; Future Life; Belief; Creed; Retribution; Eternity; After Life


Across the threshold of our garden path
There lies a world quite new -- yet more than old,
For time is left behind. The scent is bold
Of fruit and flower, but comes an aftermath
Whose fragrance is pure lingering joy, that hath
A light ethereal -- something to unfold
Which draws us to a world we cannot hold
By might, or main, or sheer desire in wrath.

The senses lose their power to captivate,
Beyond our breathing there is living still,
But effortless and free. This is the state
Of true reality, where souls may fill
Themselves with greatness -- once again create
That peace which is the earnest of God's will.
