Heavens Gate

Walking down the street of the divine,
I see a length of space, between the here and time.

Mysteries abound, and clarity is real,
but it's not all how you think, and it's not all how you feel.

Distance is a thing, I can measure in my heart,
hearing thinking speaking, it's all of it, a part.

Planets constellations, and heaven now as well,
the gates are open wide, so all could see and tell.

If anything is hidden, if anything is blurred,
it's by your own demise, and in that darkness spurred.

Heaven's gates are calling, angels sing aloud,
calling to the humble, keeping out the proud.

Come into his presence,
come into his light,
surrender all the fighting,
and rest in arms so tight.

The end is the beginning, the beginning now the end
you've made a friend forever, a love that will not bend.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

A lovely tribute to heaven, and the unknown but welcoming atmosphere of the angels and God. Nice!
