The Heavens Above That time before twilight, That time after day In it’s majestic blackness, A shimmer of light, The light of the stars, Shining down upon our heads Showing us the way, When the road is not lit Laying on the ground, With the one we love Staring above, Into the Heavens The Heavens above, So splendid and grand We dream of what they contain And of its pure love Take a walk through their halls Those halls of grandeur Ornate, marble walls And Gothic doors the size of cathedrals Open the doors and there is a light That blinding white light That we are all taught to fear Why must we fear what is so pure? This pure white light, It is quite serene You can hear a voice Encouraging you forward You step through the light With courage and serenity And suddenly you’re there At the silver gates of Heaven The gates swing open With an outstretched hand A hand of welcome and warmth You are finally home You take the hand It leads you onward Down a path of fluffy clouds, With gold-laced trim As you reach the end of the path You hear a voice in your head, “It’s not your time yet, Return to your home” You feel like you’re falling, Falling from the Heavens Yet you land so softly, Next to the one you love The one you love, With their warming embrace It’s a comfort to know You are in His good grace You saw the gates of Heaven, And walked with the Angels You saw the path of clouds, And one day you will return When you return, You know you will belong No voice will tell you to go home As you start a life anew Until then, however, You flash back to reality, Laying with your loved one, Staring at the stars |

quote: Either in dreams or in near death experiences we really can have these visions. And then we learn not to fear the LIGHT. This is very beautiful and I agree. Love, Margherita |
