The Gift Shop by the Sea

A person is taken to the other side in a basket on a rail and notices the grandeur of creation and receives gifts.
I traveled to a beautiful shore
In a basket attached to a spar

High over an aquamarine sea,
With gentle waves, and great majesty
To the Gift Shop by the Sea.

To where only the rich can go
For Art, jewels, and mistletoe,

Carved furniture, statues of gold
And pearls and antiquities of old
In the Gift Shop by the Sea.

Offered to me as gifts by the Host,
The true one and only, Holy Ghost

A peace passing all understanding
Found only at the Gift Shop by the Sea.
