Gather At the River - Glimpses of Epiphany Contest

We shall gather at the river Immortal words of a hymn That believers of spiritualism When they meet will sing People that go beyond the grave Returning with messages apart For the folks they left behind Patching up a broken heart Some people think that this is wrong Their religion tells them so Would they not listen to words their beloved's wanted them to know When at deaths door i knocked Why was I sent back home My epiphany was my journey As along death's trail i walked My time wasn't the right time So the gates were firmly locked Penned 18 July 2013 by Seren Roberts Contest -: Glimpses of Epiphany

There are always a string of memorable events in our lives. The very things that define, encourage, enlighten, and sometimes almost destroy us. Some call it fate or destiny, while some say there is no such thing. I like to believe in fate, and don't see that it contradicts free will. Fate then to me is a test, some harder than others. I often recieve inspiration from your words, the analysis never ending. Great work here and belated congratulations.
