My Trip To Heaven

I'll never forget the dream I dreamt That reshaped my very being I have no doubt, need not attempt Whole heartedly believing My soul left my body vacant But not to my demise My imagination couldn't fake it Too beautiful for human eyes Loving limbs cradled me Hovering over my vain vessel Blind eyes could suddenly see Two arms became my trestle My familiar surroundings vanished Stripped bare of my possessions A state of calm, established By undeserved discretion I saw beauty like never before Though it was there all along Kept safe behind an invisible door Of angels in peaceful song I saw things as they stood Without the shiny polish I'll tell you now, it wasn't good Beneath the tree of knowledge The wind didn't feel like wind As we flew through what we call the sky No beginning or end A repeating lullaby I recognized many faces Though they weren't familiar at all I knew exactly who they were Despite the faces that I saw We shared a warm embrace They knew who I was too I was just piece of space But they could see right through Just then, like an epiphany A lightbulb flipped it's switch A delightfully elegant symphony At just the perfect pitch The angels parted, one by one Revealing a magnificent figure Holy Ghost, father and son The epitome of pure Though I had no shell I hit the floor Gravity aside, I fell I wanted for nothing more My knees weren't knees at all Only a perfect spirit Yet still I felt the fall My ears could even hear it I can't remember what I saw My eyes are too sinful, you see I know it was glorious and humbly raw More than I expected it to be I awoke from my travels Still seeing things where they stand When truth and time unravels I'll see beauty once again
