I don’t know why I dream what I dream<\/em><\/p>\n

There is no death. But there is quietness
\nBeyond the reaches of the world; a peace
\nWhich only life can give. It is the life
\nThat is the gift of God. All conflicts cease
\nWithin this life. It beats in harmony
\nWith all creation, beyond any sound
\nThe world can hear. It sings a different song,
\nAnd where it reaches, there is holy ground.<\/p>\n

There is no death. Whom God created whole
\nIs whole forever. Who can crucify
\nEternal life? And who can bring to dust
\nWhom God has willed immortal? Can he die
\nWho rises past the universe, to rest
\nAt one with his Creator? So are we
\nEnsured to life. There is no death because
\nGod’s Son belongs to Immortality.<\/p>\n

This is a day of joy. Today the world
\nLays down its dreams beside a cross that was
\nItself a dream. Behold the dream of death
\nAnd waken, seeing that it had no cause,
\nAnd so did not exist. What never was
\nCan not be now. Today we pass it by,
\nFor this the purpose of this day should be:
\nWhat is made whole is whole, and cannot die.<\/p>\n

Do not confuse the cross with sacrifice,
\nNor death with life. The Will of God is one,
\nAnd knows no differences nor opposites.
\nIn love it has created but one Son,
\nIn whom the whole creation still remains.
\nHow can his name be changed who bears the Name
\nHis Father called as His? He does not change,
\nBecause his will forever is the same.<\/p>\n

What does he yearn for but his Father’s house?
\nHad he a different will his death might be
\nReality. But when he reconciled
\nWhat never had an opposite, then he
\nCould never die. His life is not his own,
\nBeing of God. This day arise and come
\nWith Me. For there is life. It is God’s Will.
\nToday shall you be with Me in our home.
