Heaven's Staging Post

I’ve entered realms beyond the veil
where nought but souls abide,
but most like me will tell you true
‘tis not an easy ride!

Harps and Wings I’ve seen them not,
though love abounds for sure,
but so does hate and fear and rot
and things that all abhor.

Demons, devils, evil souls
whose hatred drives their needs,
where only by your spirit’s strength
can one survive their greeds.

Entities within these realms
could not in flesh carnate,
but feed upon the souls of those
for whom they lie in wait.

But also there are places where
true peace and love abound,
where spirits rise above mankind
and paradise is found.

Our earthly life, I’ll state once more,
is where we strive to find
the place we wish within our mind
that matches our own kind.

And when we die there is no doubt
when standing in the queue,
the others standing by your side
will be the same as you.

A ‘lifetime’ is where we can learn
the place that we belong,
and only when we truly know
will death end lifetime’s song.

Heaven or Hell your final choice,
you earn it here on earth,
but ‘twix the training sessions
you just wait for your rebirth!
