~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see. – Quote by Helen Keller
In the dawn of my existence,
Reaching through the quiet temptations,
Releasing the fears, the tears, the years…
Touching the moments with elation,
Lighting the nights with my star,
The one God gave me, to glow in my heart,
In the dawn of my existence,
I knew the warmth of sweetest love,
The beauty of peace and hope,
The music of faith that comforts the soul,
The wonder of grace that restores.
In the twilight of my living,
Memories, some beautiful – some distant,
Poured from my spirit, reflections, feelings,
Sentimental trails, traveled by feet,
Who journey through the dark, the fear, the night,
Some blessings, some doubts, some tenderness,
Some dread, some tones of grief,
Many struggles before I’m led to the finish line,
The end of all my strife.
In the twilight of my living,
Music plays, melodies in whispers,
Singing of wonders, faded blessings who remind me,
I have known the warmth of gentle hearts,
I have known the darkness that dissuades all hopes,
I have known what it is to love and to give –
Without expectations of receiving anything myself.
In the twilight, where I’m sensing,
The final days, the final prayers, the finality of all those years,
My mind echoes, in the expanse of time,
Trembling thoughts, small dreams and insights,
When He comes for me… as death takes my life,
Will I sense the wonderful that is to come,
Or will my fear silence that thrill?
The beautiful light who pours out the quiet…
As death sighs and I am no more,
Yet, in the end, I find…
I’m far more than I’ve ever been before!
