A Soul Journeys Home

Soaring through the galaxies my soul takes flight 
like a shooting star it explodes into  the air
Illuminating it like fireflies in the night
as  the knight of darkness recedes into despair.


Hypnotic sounds of swirling gases like  heavenly organs 
fail to placate the quivering of my soul
as Heaven bound it clings to the bell -like voices of angels
    guiding it home.

As a drowning man grasps at a straw my soul reaches out 
then close to the gates of Heaven is encircled in prisms of light .
Finally on a crimson tide it's borne away to Paradise.

Nice concept. Work on the "to rhyme or not to rhyme question-"air/despair" causes the reader to want more rhyme. Light & Love Debbie
