Back Home

Spirit soared towards the light                                                                                             
and met with those who had gone before,warm and a recognizable feeling that 
was 
home,                                                                                                                                
and free at last in every sense,the heaviness shed like 
tears                                        
to shine brightly as a beacon,but for those left behind,darkness ensues and 
engulfs with memories tarred,heads held low,hung with sorrow..                        
but know that your love has not gone but is still around,be still and sense,for your 
love is close,                                                                                                                           
be aware in your time of pain,your love is near,and will be until your time to meet 
again..back home.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
