Awaiting Eternal Life

sun’s bright light descends
reviving a darkened Earth
flowers bask outside her home

angels come today
her body lies still in bed
the transition has been made

palms wave in the breeze
goodbye to a gentle soul
who enters eternal life

blooms droop in dismay
knowing she will not be found
only in heaven she reigns

your worried about what people will see while your leaving. when you could be thinking about what angels will be doing when you get there. your father, your husband. the guy that drowned. good thing there is'nt marriage in heaven.

Wow, what a beautiful, wonderful write you have written my friend! The greatest line that I've heard in a long time must be, "palms wave in the breeze" where I interpreted this to be even a mortal who has passed away gets attention from the breeze! Incredible line that one is! I thoroughly enjoyed your poem that I have read this evening! I just love your write a lot! Awesome Work!!
