I Went To Heaven

Laying in bed I was overtaken
by sleep.
  A surreal feeling I felt, putting
me calmly at ease.

   I saw and felt myself ascending
high.
   I stopped in midair, and I
couldn't believe what I saw 
through my eyes.

   It was a bright soft light, that
when seeing, brought love inside  
of me.
 I felt so much inner peace, it
was hard to believe.

   Was this an illusion or was this
magnificently real?
   I felt transformed, and needed
to kneel.

   I realized I was in front of my
Lord.
   And I listened closely as he spoke
these words.
   
 
  " I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE POWER
TO LOVE. THE POWER TO LOVE IS
A GREAT POWER. I HAVE EXPERIENCED
THE POWER TO LOVE, AND I LOVE
THE POWER TO LOVE. SO THAT IS WHY
I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE POWER TO
LOVE. SO GO OUT AND LOVE. YOU 
MUST GO BACK NOW."
  I said to him, " Lord I don't want to
go back."
  He said, " YOUR PURPOSE ON
EARTH IS NOT COMPLETED. THAT IS
WHY YOU ARE GOING BACK."




  Reluctantly I was going back, it felt
wonderful being with Jesus.
  I did what I was told just to please
him.
  I will never forget what happened
that night. Revealing to me  his
presence in light...


  


  
















   This really happened.
   While I was sleeping.

Congratulations on your contest placement. Your poem wows me, excites me, comforts me, but does not surprise me. I had an elderly friend who died and came back on the operating table. Jesus' words to her, as I remember, were quite similar. I am so glad you shared this, Michael. You confirm my belief that there is much more than what we see ... CayCay

Thanks Andrea I have to write the story behind it. Thanks for your visit. I was in such a state of shock when I woke up I didn't know if it was a dream or a revelation. The Lord told me two things that were going to happen in the future that really happened. Myself and my family were in disbelief when they happened it was real as real is.

Dear Micheal I can relate to this experience because I've died myself, and came back, I've also had the rare experience of being caught between body and rising, if you know what I mean, great work of truth the light is beautiful beyond words, and so peaceful I myself didn't want to leave it, but it was not my time, bravo on this work i give you a seven, cheri and thanks for your review of my work take care cheri
