Standing Upon Heavens Shores....

And as I stood upon the shore in Pacifica Gazing over the soothing Pacific Oceans Archean waters With its cooling yet cleansing rhythems, washing over my baring feet Feeling the suns warmth softly caressing my now bronzed flesh Traveling through time which then stood still, among the bluest of skies As I slowly closed my eyes but for a moment To take hold of what was, and what shall someday be.... Glowing radiance, amid smiling faces which I have loved throughout this life ~ Breaking dawn within my heart, the waves of wonders once given Though like sands swept away; their crystalized splendors as seas glass Still, forever glittering deep inside they do remain Captured within these clutchings hands, of nevers letting go Such as dreams their lives; appearing beyond mercies story, told Blood of my blood and bone of my bones~"Precious Souls" Poured upon my own, as "Heavens" star graced dust showering from above That no world ever steal away, ever once more, ever my loves ~ Placed beneath the colorful lights strung along eternities promised branches Junipers tree, adorned with the tinsels of paradise restored, which shall one day be Breathing this paragon of their forevers eyes, now glistening into mine ~ As I open them to peer into the distance, towards the soon to appear.... And suddenly she arrives, wearing white silkened clothe, that sways and flutters within the wind "My Angel," now standing aside my side; fingers enlaced, as one within this place While she whispers into my ear, these penetrating words of love ~ "I have been waiting for you" I say; as I turn to kiss her then, enrapturous lips Drawing her near; within the tenderness of our virtuous embrace Her hair shining from the rays of the sun, as a halo reflecting upon her enchantings beauty Within the here and nows, jewel and treasure of my life.... Laughing as I gently lead her deeper into the waters Amid the joys of this gratefulness; these pearls placed softly into our palms Smiling, while stroking her cheek and kissing her brow, as she leans closer into me Her precious face upon my chest, beautiful; wherefrom my heart beats her melody A symphony of loves chords, rising above the celestial firmaments of harmonies verse To sing their songs of rejoicings majestic, now, poured upon our souls Soaring through these golden skies, as I kiss her eyes And bow my head within humbleness; upon what I know shall be Her and I; they and we; and, an endless sea, of endless love.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Standing, Upon Heavens Shores!

The imagery in this poem is just beautiful and it did feel like being on heavens shore, for what would be heaven without true love. Thanks for sharing and thank you for reading and commenting on my poetry. Caroline.

So many incredible images bring this outstanding poem to life, John! As we are "traveling through time," it is so important to "feel the sun's warmth" and remember all of those who have had a positive impact on us. Your "angel" shows you such joy and love. After reading this, I do, indeed, feel as though I'm "Standing Upon Heaven's Shores." Beautiful writing from a gifted, spiritual man with a loving heart! Love, Carolyn

What a beautiful poem, John.....standing upon Heaven's shores...... such heavenly images you put into my mind...such beauty of a love as stunning as your poem. This makes me wistful... I have just this week returned from a trip to the coastal areas of the Pacific...near San Diego, stood barefoot in the sandy waters with my family in the same spot where I played as a young girl...walked the same pier....your poem took me back for a moment...longing for that sea breeze! :) Love, Carrie
