Heaven Sent

The end 
Finely trapped in
Unworthy of all things
Down in this deep, dark abyss
Where I rest my head at the gates of hell 
I look up to the lord above 
On my knees I cry out
What have I done?
The end

A flash blinds the land
Departing heaven she comes
A flash blinds the land

Rising
My angel in White
To save my broken soul
Her beautiful wispier white face
Comes close as I grasp her elegant hand
Black covers all the ground below us
The demons call my name
No turning back
Rising

As I'm wondering
I'll sit here with her forever
As I'm wondering

Will she stay?

A stunning recollection of a lost soul finding its way to heaven through God's mercy. I like your writing style, Tyler. It's original, packed with images and emotion. Best Regards, Carolyn
