Heaven

I fly to Heaven on the back of the most glorious and beautiful beings, an Angel. Its wings lined with elegant gold and a crown of leaves that wave swiftly in the air. We soar through the silky white clouds and end at the everlasting resting place, there to hail the Lord our God. The gates open and I see the most astonishing place. The gardens have slow, trickling water and animals running unreservedly and feeding on herbal vegetation. Also, they sip from the fountain of eternal life. The flowers attract my attention with their breathtaking aroma and the buckeye tree sprouting its bloom. I suddenly feel a warm familiar breeze brush across my face, reminding me of a past summer. I walk in my milky white, contented robe to find a beautiful lagoon with waters so blue and so perfectly clear like the souls of the people present. I dive into the water and momentarily emerge. Adjacent to my right a dolphin swims. I grab a hold of its tarsal and go for a ride. I return to the shore where I stood earlier and laid down in the sand. I watched the clouds move slowly across the sky. The tide flows in leisurely over my feet, as if massaging them. The sound of the bird overhead and the water crashing into the shore put me into a tiring, peaceful mood. I awoke a while later to the sound of a familiar tune I have heard once before and then I walked with a friend across the beach talking of everything we discovered about the enchanting place, and we were joyful that this is where our lives will be spent, in this blissful place.
