A Last Glimpse

God shed no tears,
He rejoiced at your arrival.
If only you could have seen
The despair and agony
Your leaving left behind.

They say the departed
Turn into stars.
I believed it too...
Until I searched the heavens
And found no trace of you.

Surely, God has shaped
A universe of peace for you,
Among souls of radiant grace,
Where serenity forever dwells.
