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.
