Back To Earth

I was knocking on the gates of Heaven but nobody would let me in, a voice said this is a peaceful place and you are causing an unholy din. I said I've come to visit a loved one lost to me a few years ago, the voice said you will be together but not until it's your time to go. Up here there are only vibrations when their separate lives are done, they come home as a collective and all merge together as one. I find that hard to understand could you find a way to explain? The voice then said it's very complex but the idea is quite plain. Cast a stone into the ocean drops of water fly up free, but when their time is up they fall and again become part of the sea. You must return to your world just go back to Earth, for only when your freedoms gone will you realise it's worth. Just then I heard another voice and it wasn't from Heaven's gate, I suddenly understood the words "Wake up or you're going to be late!"
