Turn
©2011 Gibbens/Weston

Time
takes a turn
from the dark
to the sunshine
in the night,
in a space
full of bright stars.

Never no end to the day,
Never no end to the light,
Never no end to the way
Leading us on out of sight

To a place
far away
from our birth land,
where our souls
long ago
had their first home.

Never no end to the love,
Never no end to the peace,
Never no rest for the dove
Until her enemies cease

Making war
with their tongues
that are fiery
and their eyes
fill with tears
of forgiveness.

Never no end to the song
Once it begins in your heart,
Once we are where we belong,
Once we are where we can start

To undo
all the wrong
and rebuild earth,
beauteous earth.
Come along
while there’s still time.

Never no end to the day,
Never no end to the light,
Never no end to the way
Leading us on out of sight
