There is toward the East
in Heaven, a lake,
where angels gather
to tell tales about those
whom they watch and care for.
With each story sung,
wings are spread
and they dance joyously about
in tribute, for whom they love.
In the North, a bell tolls
as a new festival begins
in celebration of the little ones,
new in nature, forever to be
cherished by love’s Founder.
Eyes now brightly clinging
to colours never seen before,
as lights move gently floating,
to be touched and kept as gifts.
There is toward the West
in Heaven, gardens and fields
nestled amongst brooks
of deep blue water, springing
dreams of calming peace.
There, many dwell in a season
unending, pondering on delightful
marvels, new and pristine
in each turn of the way.
In the South, there are gates
adorned with names of wondrous
adventures, each giving entrance
to paths of untold splendor
to sojourn in thought and time.
After each journey, a memory
is left to be seen by others,
so as to enjoy what was felt
by the goodness experienced.
There is at the very center
in Heaven, a tree who’s light
permeates to fill every eye
and heart, leaving a glow
never ceasing, lasting forever.
No fence or border surrounds it,
so all may eat of its plentiful fruit,
given freely out of pure
perfect, unconditional love.
What Is Waiting There To Be
A place to be – - if one can but see
Imagining home – - for eternity
May we all be there.

Oh dear … you have melted me … And I long to see home again. The stole away the memory of it and put it into these words. So soft and flowing. I want hide in the East of Heaven and watch the gathering of Angels. I want to attend the festival in the North. I want to stick my toes in the brooks of the West then travel to the South and slide open the gate. Then sit on the branch of the center tree and look out over heaven from the treetop ….....

I like that you don’t let your words get in the way of one another. With such light and ethereal ideas it would be easy (and tragic) to be clumsy, but you manage to walk lightly, to speak from the page softly. It gives me the feeling of having peeked over an angel’s shoulder.

Many will go to the various places North….South…East…and West… there is another place….
Where it is quiet….and soft…...and peaceful….where the weary souls who need to rest can find strength and wisdom….....and understanding …... before returning to fulfill the tasks appointed to them…......renewed and invigorated….......replenished….....where their Souls can be refilled with Love….... compassion…..and HOPE…..
