Day of Judgement: From Hell to Heaven

As the sun set and darkness fell,
A trance grew upon me, a curse, a spell.
A lonely feeling engulfed my soul,
As I searched for answers to be whole.

I soon found myself stumbling around,
Then with the blowing wind, I heard a sound.
It drew me closer to a dark red path,
Where I would fall victim to an unholy wrath.

As I inched closer to a eternal death,
A voice called out to me at my last breath.
"Come with me to a place without fright,
A place where all your wrongs are made right."

I didn't believe this God-like voice,
but then again, I had no better choice.
It took my hand, and led me on
To another place, where the evil was gone.

It let go of my hand, then said one last phrase,
one that will forever keep me in daze.
"Go on, my son. Go find your worth.
You are destined for greatness. Destined since birth."

Then through thick, damp fog and shadows deep,
I wandered on, while my curiosity peaked.
What did it mean "I was destined since birth?"
Did my spirit within have some unfinished work?

Since I can remember, I was always troubled.
My heart was dirty, filled with rubble.
But now I felt my heart was cleansed.
It was like holy water washed away my sins.

Now I was seeking solace, seeking peace,
From the world where issues fail to cease.
That's why I was saved from deathly heat,
By the word of God that called to me.

It realized I was willing to repent my wrongs.
So I was forgiven, and was taken along,
Back to heaven and out of hell,
where I currently reside and am doing well.

As In this moment, I am still,
My heart beats steady, and my mind is chill,
For I have found a way to be,
In a place where my mind's at ease.

A place of wisdom, love, and light,
Where all is clear, where all is right,
Where souls can heal and spirits soar,
Within you is the key to unlock the door…
