The Stained Glass Window

The Stained Glass Window

The rain falls in its marvelous way 

Hitting everything in its path

I watch as it falls down a stained glass window

Oh how beautiful it is

The colours are brightened 

The people of heaven come alive from the window

And then I can see

I can see all the colours of the rainbow
 The colours flood onto the window 

I can see the sun shining down on everyone 

Letting it's rays illuminate all the living things in the world

From every spec of pollen to every blue whale

Even the sun shines onto this little stained glass window 

This little thing

It can be so alive 

Yet, this window is not living

It does not breathe 

It has no heartbeat 

It cannot feel

Yet it is so alive 

It is alive inside

In our hearts 

In our minds

In our souls

Everything has a heartbeat 

You just have to listen closely to hear it.

Even a little stained glass window has a heartbeat
