"Know yourself as Love Incarnate. Welcome your enlightenment. Stay the course. Your path to awakening is your way to soul discovery, to Spirit." (Rishi Dara) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bound to this world, Between two doves stands a gateway, A pathway to the other side, Where God can judge me in another life, For this journey I have no sight, For this moment I’ve prepared all my life, In Biblical scriptures we are told, Following once faith, Faith tells us so, For all the faiths in life I view, Surely my faith, Ask them to kindly know, A stairway to heaven, An afterlife I shall find, As dreams are forgotten, My thoughts out of mind, My past life will be nevermore, On this journey, New friends to acquire, To be a great listener, Believe the words, As silent as it seems, As a spirit, What will I be?

Your pondering on religion, spirituality, and the hereafter is nicely conveyed in this poem dear Sara. It revolves around your thoughts of the hereafter and your readiness for a venture into the unknown. The poem uses a mix of mystical imagery and existential inquiries to evoke deep inner reflection through its excellent language and imagery. phrases such as "spirit," "stairway to heaven," "gateway," "judgment," and "faith" to convey a feeling of transcend and trust in a divine being. Keeping the word "faith" in the context serves to drive home the point that trust is crucial for success. My best wishes for the contest.
