Final Ascent

Round and round, they twist and rise; Without a sound, towards heaven’s skies. Pure energy, it cannot die, despite a skeptics protest; It brings a soul to new heights; there, it has its rest. When the light, it does appear, an all-consuming fire; Life renews; becomes dear as we transcend this ugly mire. With electricity; souls are called into the light; The clay and water, reduced to ground; as souls alight. The one part of your self will rise, to touch and stay in Heaven’s skies. Just know you go where you’ll be free; Across the void, to your Creator, you see. Life’s not easy, but when lived well; back to the Source, we all will sail.

Straight to my FAV list. What else could I do with this one? It is the one I meant to write after a few more years of practice after all.

Oh you can still write it; you'll find the words. Thanks.
