"Black Tulips for the Dear Departed" Stumbling between the Immensities Cobwebs like lace capture her keep her fixed at the door waiting, should she cross over now, or remain? Time is evaporating, time is dissipating, the past is holding on tight with it’s claws. Black Tulips for the Dear Departed, like a White Lily she opens - she walks through the door. The light is astounding, a legion of angels rejoicing He is there waiting with pearls at His feet for her, she must kneel to uncover rust blood wet on so many book covers, she washes His feet with her tears Sapphires His eyes jubilation. He beckons her closer, “Here is your Book, Let me read it to you” He gives her His hand it is warm to the touch, He conveys this, His message to her, “This could hurt, let’s review”. He smiles, she is His, melting, golden Lux Vitae immersed in His presence born again, LIVING renewed. (Lovejoy-Burton/Jan 2018) 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A02EDL-eIGk

"Stumbling between the Immensities Cobwebs like lace capture her keep her fixed at the door waiting, should she cross over now, or remain?" These are my favorite lines from your excellent poem. I think we are all at the door, waiting for our number to be called...

This is quite beautiful. I might get called for interference but here is another scripture that I feel is relevant to the conversation of an afterlife. Luke 23:43 “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

I have a favourite artist. His name is Ben Stack, one of his creations is titled "Stumbling between the Immensities". I wonder what you'd make of it, if you are into art. I can't decide which one is more apt that piece, or "Strange Angels". http://benstack.com.au/

Indeed Silent One. Perhaps, the answer is only found at the end of the chapter, the story continues...
