Reception At the Heavenly Destination

Reception At The Heavenly Destination ( Tribute to- The Last Journey.) Home far away in that shrinking mist of light this moment is for earthly mortal passing Up ahead glows a brilliant golden Heavenly sight one that any imagination fails in surpassing. Well, the big gate opens, music hits my ears I feel the angels now serenely flying Here rests no sin, anger, hate or earthly fears Truth living here banished all the lying. Trumpets are now sounding, soft blasts that sing joy and laughter now invading this soul All is faith and love in a huge blazing golden ring high above us, a throne on Holy hill's knoll Earth and its memories now seen in a new light pain and sorrow sent forever far away All is sweet daylight, banished is dark of night "Our Savior's Welcome" tis' all the angels say! "Approach my son", booms out from throne on the hill. Your soul is most welcome, as it is my Father's will! Robert J. Lindley, 08-21-2015 ------------------------------------------------------------- Written as promised to Peter, my tribute to his great poem, The poem above was inspired by Peter Duggan's great poem, from his most recent poetry book, titled -The Last Journey...... The Last Journey I am going home , my song is over The actor rests, his time has come I am going to cross that mystic river And gaze upon that clear bright sun. Well I can hear the whisper calling And telling me "your time has come" The image dies the mask is falling No more the many, there's just the one. As energy is dissipating All worldly cares they wilt to nil There's no more wrath , there's no more hating There is no thing just a space so still. I say goodbye to all who knew me But do not grieve me when I'm gone I'll rest in peace my friends but someday I'll come again to sing my song. Peter Duggan
