Rapid silence; flooding emotions,
Brief darkness preludes the Immaculate Light.
Divine arms extended through misty eyes,
Commanding hands ease open His blissful Gates.

Voyaging over Heaven's wistful threshold,
Once morose hearts unsheathe their guiltless splendor.
Angels sing tranquil songs of exaltation,
"Our beloved kin has ventured home!"

Striding gingerly onward;
Awestricken by the perfection of His holy realm.
Attention seized: brilliant lights shine from His very essence.
Eyes; tributaries of elegance and love: enveloped by His eternal Grace.

Voices of hearts resound throughout my soul,
Longing a return to the world that was.
Teasing smile across His face,
Assurance that calm will come through Him.

How shall they know? ...in subtle tone;
By dawnÂ’s sweet breath:
Speckled white with the breaking of day,
Pledged to reunite a maternal soul with child.

Time spent, years in length upon that ground;
Lifetimes mistakenly lived as death ended all.
Mortal times: nearly shrouds of existence,
For only now is eternity found.

Psalms 20:7 "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God."

Just a beautiful description of the reward that awaits all those who are faithful. It brings a tear to my eye for those I love who have gone on, but I am happy for them at the same time. It helps me to strive for heaven every day. Thanks for sharing again.

Oh, make me Thine forever
And should I fainting be
Lord, let me never ever
Outlive my love for Thee
