Beyond the Sunset
Whoosh! Like a gust of wind uplifting me,
there's no sad sunset that I see.
Above earth, I'm rising and flying free!
Just for a moment there, the lights flickered out.
But now, bright dazzling sunlight and colors
scatter and flash all over, around and about.
Like a big billowing balloon, I rise and I soar,
floating above earth, and out of life's door.
Up, up, past the clouds, where my loved ones are.
Angels surround me, and heaven's not far.
If this is a dream, don't wake me up, please,
because back into my body would be an impossible squeeze.
This flight I am taking with God holding my hand,
is but a short breath, before I hear heavens welcoming band.
