Notes About The Poem

Heaven's Realm

Heaven's Realm

When we first arrive in Heaven we are greeted
with much joy by deceased family and friends,
and family who died before, we never got to meet.
Heaven is a place of pure joy and love where we 
travel with the speed of thought. Anything we may
imagine may be manifested by the grace of God
whose presence is felt in everything, everywhere.
Each plant and tree, every flower and water fall   
is alive with vibrant energy we feel divinely con-
nected to as we discover we may communicate 
amazingly with them, we never imagined possible.

Beautiful music vibrates in frequencies that are
able to penetrate the soul of our ethereal being.
Angels draped in golden light sing in choirs
as a sense of peaceful serenity and love envelopes
us, when all the knowledge and answers we have 
sought become crystal clear in memory of all our
years. We see our life in pictures of good and bad
deeds with our interactions with others and we 
become the judge of these deeds and feel the
emotional pain or joy we have caused in others.

Jesus meets those who wish to be in his presence
and we feel forgiven for any sins we have committed.
God's love's so overwhelming and pure it's unimaginable.
There are colors and sights and sounds and scents
that amaze our senses as nothing rusts or dies as
we behold the beauty and wonders of God's Heaven.
We may return in spirit to watch over our loved ones.
One should never be afraid to pass on to Heaven's realm.
Amen!

Matthew 6:19-21
Do not store up riches for yourselves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal. Instead, store up riches for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. For your heart will always be where your riches are.

Thank you so much. I got part of this knowledge of heaven from my mother who had a NDE. Blessings xxoo

John Watt June 4, 2020 at 4:57 PM Well a hearty amen to this beautiful rendering of heaven's wonders, Connie! I think you captured it most with the word "overwhelming", but so many aspects of the heaven I dream about and hope for are pictured here in your glorious poetry. Thank you for bringing me a smile today, and best wishes in the heaven contest ~ John Connie Marcum Wong June 4, 2020 at 5:36 PM I had a dear friend visit me shortly after her death a couple of years ago. She was six years older than me but she looked like she was in her early twenties like when I met her. I could see right through her. She didn't speak, she just smiled at me and then she vanished. I feel she came to say good-bye. She lived in Kansas and had never visited me here n Hawaii, yet she found me. It gave me peace knowing she was happy and young again. Thank you John. Blessings xxoo

Tom Cunningham June 4, 2020 at 4:37 PM Well written Connie, it's certainly the opposite of life here on earth, when I hear of those stealing from others, those driven by hate and greed. I always think you've had your chance, you won't take a penny of it with you when you die. As the good book says, you've had your reward, how true. Good luck in the contest. Tom Connie Marcum Wong June 4, 2020 at 5:39 PM I feel we make mistakes and must grow from them or we will repeat them until we learn. Earth is like a school were we grow until we reach enlightenment. Thank you very much Tom. Blessings xxoo
