L Milton Hankins Poet Sonnet

Reality of Heavenly Beings

Some folks raise their eyebrows derisively
When I speak of the reality of a heavenly being
But I am convinced of their reality, decisively,
I have experienced their presence, even seeing.
Many times, my guardian angels have appeared
To rescue me from the most trying situations
Some whom I have told looked at me and sneered
Not understanding those other world dimensions.

On the other hand, many folks understand
They, too, have felt the presence of family beyond
And have seen the works of the spirits firsthand
Still, too many have listened politely and yawned.
When our loved ones pass on to that other land
They remember to give their loved ones a hand.

Christuraj Alex March 13, 2022 at 5:17 AM Yeah... elder generations, though try to hand over, younger ones are seldom ready to understand and accept. Beautifully written. Congratulations! L Milton Hankins March 13, 2022 at 10:20 AM Thanks, Chris. I think you're probably right about this.

Caren Krutsinger March 12, 2022 at 5:16 AM Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. "They, too, have felt the presence of family beyond And have seen the works of the spirits firsthand" YES! Of course I have. Yes to all of it! L Milton Hankins March 12, 2022 at 9:28 AM Thanks so much, Caren. I think many more people see appearances of their families and friends who have gone on, but they may not realize it.

Tom Cunningham March 11, 2022 at 2:53 PM I've often heard of folk having those experiences, what's always intrigued me is we came from nothing and if we exist then anything is possible, maybe other dimensions and we pass from this dimension to the next when our time is up. Tom L Milton Hankins March 11, 2022 at 3:10 PM Tom, after having several experiences, I believe this to be the case. I do not, however, cast aside the thought that I, and others, have vivid imaginations! Who knows?
