The Only Heaven I Know


It was restless desire to find great truth
A road I could call all my own
Where loyalty was the inspiration behind it
Honesty was the creator of it
And, friendship was the purpose for it.

Never thought I'd ever face a path
One paved to meet my heart
In exact direction where prayers and good fortune embraced
Allowing me to imbed who I am
But, acknowledge where I've been.

A single step vanished any winds against me
Once captured by the arms of change
Where welcome made sure to be clearly seen
Where clouds refuse to hide the sun
And, peace of mind was the first to touch me.

It's laid out for the sake of my belonging
Your silhouette obvious beneath
In deep depth of your sacrifice for my new mile
Where self worth denies uncertainty
And, pleasant never knew desertion.

Glorious defines my journey you've provided
Oh, ever gratefully I move
In sweet rhythm caressed in extreme light at it's best
Where countless are my memories
And, words escape my capabilities.

Forever, I'll dwell in this calling to feel
What destiny asked me to
Here, in this state of unbelievable I've witnessed at last
Where you have always been
And, where you will always be.

Precious refuses to be anything but our guides
From here until the very end
And, when the eternal beams carry us to our final path
Where the skies are our home
Where we must begin again...
You'll still be the only heaven I know.

Hi, Saunni! What a beautiful face you have! ~ and you have the talent to match it!
Your posts are too far apart for my liking! ~ Mind you, you certainly do make them worth the wait.

I was moved by the grace and beauty of this write, but then, I always am!

Have a glorious day!
