Poem
As I walk along the beach at dawn Just as the sun is coming up over the horizon I stumble across an opened doorway It is floating about a foot above the ground As I approach it, I see such beauty I see myself laughing in a way I've never experienced I have a golden glow that surrounds me A glow that is so warm and bright, it resembles the sun The sunrise through this door is so vibrant The colors are so intense, words cannot even describe it's awe inspiring beauty I approach the doorway, and I stand a moment on the threshold One step away from an unknown opportunity Or going one step back into the same ordinary life, Where i am always wanting more. I glance once more at myself through the door Our eyes meet and I am overflowing with joy and hope I feel such love that I take that one step into this unknown world of such intense beauty It takes me a moment to fully realize the true magnificance The true awe inspiring brilliance of such a place I turn looking back just as the door closes and disappears. For a moment i wonder will I ever get back? As I look once again in front of me, I see myself coming near. We are standing face to face Looking into the depths of my own eyes Both with uncertainty and recognition. In a split second we become one And I can feel that warm glow now Surrounding my body, I feel that joy and hope and love flowing within me I now know that I have found true paradise Will I ever go back? Do I really want to? No, I no longer understand my hesitancy In fear due to the unknown. This place has given me knowledge I am now fearless, I am now full of love I am now in Heaven. 6/18/2020
