Crystal Carousel awaits us<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arks of translucent light<\/p>\n

beam from opened sky<\/p>\n

crystal Carousel awaits us<\/p>\n

discover hard-to-find<\/p>\n

entry gate to narrow road<\/p>\n

florae\u00a0glow abundantly beside clear waterfall<\/p>\n

Grasp this\u00a0 opportunity \u00a0to watch<\/p>\n

hawks circling\u00a0 across overflowing\u00a0 sky<\/p>\n

in spacious\u00a0 freedom from gravity<\/p>\n

Judah\u2019s Lion beckons, \u201ccome higher\u201d<\/p>\n

Keep watching the sky<\/p>\n

Lamb-shaped\u00a0 silver-white clouds<\/p>\n

Move, float,\u00a0 surround\u00a0 crystal carousel<\/p>\n

nothing on earth<\/p>\n

obscures our\u00a0 calling to dance<\/p>\n

past the darkness<\/p>\n

quick, like the flight of<\/p>\n

ravens flying\u00a0 over River of Life<\/p>\n

suspended laws of gravity<\/p>\n

transform atmosphere<\/p>\n

utters a song of praise<\/p>\n

verticality seekers discover<\/p>\n

well-hidden\u00a0ancients foreshadowed<\/p>\n

Xavior, our origin, our destiny<\/p>\n

Yes, we \u00a0will dance\u00a0 at the<\/p>\n

Zenith of our wedding reception.<\/p>\n
