How Does the Soul Enter Heaven

As the morning sun comes creeping up over the hill,
as the sunset colors set in the west I am at peace.
They say the body and soul are one,
I now can say~no they are two.
My body now lying here is an empty vessel,
my soul is taking one more trip.
My soul now waits,
waits at the huge white pearly gates.
I started thinking,
when can I come in and go through this gates.
What if I receive no for my answer,
then where will my soul depart to.
In the distance I see a figure coming towards me,
a book is opened and read.
I listen and listen to all the words being read,
then I hear gates open up.
My soul is happy wearing a big smile,
it is now time to see others that went before me.

And so it is, as you say, Paula. There is no judgment, all are welcome into God’s domain of unconditional love and effervescent light

Bliss in Heaven. Can anyone describe it better? The way to Heaven is narrow and hard but it is good to survive and hear angelic voices welcoming you home.

Paula, you have painted such beautiful pictures with your poems and the settings that you have described. You have, as usual, done a wonderful job expressing your individual perspective on heaven and soul after death and the hope that you have for it.
