Heaven and Hell

. In the depth of despair I wondered out where The fog lay in fields of morn Feeling forsaken and so forlorn Regretting the day I was born. And there where I sat Looking back at How life had brought me down Images shattered... without a sound As they fell in pieces…to the ground Lost in my mind I could not find A reason to carry on So... there in the fog... of early dawn I sang…my final swan song Deeper and deeper and deeper I fell Into... a bottomless well Were I ceased to exist In a feeling of bliss When the fog... began to lift Higher and higher and higher…I flew To the light of the burning fire Lightly touching…down on the ground With the light of God... all around In the midst...of angelic sounds In the most beautiful meadow…I’d ever seen Of silver mist and emerald green It lay before me…like a dream With the path…where I had been Evaporating…in a sunbeam Somewhere between... Heaven and Hell... on Earth ~~~ Author: Elaine George
