Standing Upon Heavens Shores....

And as I stood upon the shore in Pacifica
Gazing over the soothing Pacific Oceans Archean waters
With its cooling yet cleansing rhythems, washing over my baring feet
Feeling the suns warmth softly caressing my now bronzed flesh
Traveling through time which then stood still, among the bluest of skies
As I slowly closed my eyes but for a moment
To take hold of what was, and what shall someday be....
Glowing radiance, amid smiling faces which I have loved throughout this life ~
Breaking dawn within my heart, the waves of wonders once given
Though like sands swept away;  their crystalized splendors as seas glass
Still, forever glittering deep inside they do remain
Captured within these clutchings hands, of nevers letting go
Such as dreams their lives; appearing beyond mercies story, told
Blood of my blood and bone of my bones~"Precious Souls"
Poured upon my own, as "Heavens" star graced dust showering from above
That no world ever steal away, ever once more, ever my loves ~
Placed beneath the colorful lights strung along eternities promised branches
Junipers tree, adorned with the tinsels of paradise restored, which shall one day be
Breathing this paragon of their forevers eyes, now glistening into mine ~
As I open them to peer into the distance, towards the soon to appear....
And suddenly she arrives, wearing white silkened clothe, that sways and flutters within the wind
"My Angel," now standing aside my side; fingers enlaced, as one within this place
While she whispers into my ear, these penetrating words of love ~
"I have been waiting for you" I say; as I turn to kiss her then, enrapturous lips
Drawing her near; within the tenderness of our virtuous embrace
Her hair shining from the rays of the sun, as a halo reflecting upon her enchantings beauty
Within the here and nows, jewel and treasure of my life....
Laughing as I gently lead her deeper into the waters
Amid the joys of this gratefulness; these pearls placed softly into our palms
Smiling, while stroking her cheek and kissing her brow, as she leans closer into me
Her precious face upon my chest, beautiful; wherefrom my heart beats her melody
A symphony of loves chords, rising above the celestial firmaments of harmonies verse
To sing their songs of rejoicings majestic, now, poured upon our souls
Soaring through these golden skies, as I kiss her eyes
And bow my head within humbleness; upon what I know shall be
Her and I; they and we; and, an endless sea, of endless love....

Standing, Upon Heavens Shores!

So many incredible images bring this outstanding poem to life, John! As we are "traveling through time," it is so important to "feel the sun's warmth" and remember all of those who have had a positive impact on us. Your "angel" shows you such joy and love. After reading this, I do, indeed, feel as though I'm "Standing Upon Heaven's Shores." Beautiful writing from a gifted, spiritual man with a loving heart! Love, Carolyn

What a beautiful poem, John.....standing upon Heaven's shores...... such heavenly images you put into my mind...such beauty of a love as stunning as your poem. This makes me wistful... I have just this week returned from a trip to the coastal areas of the Pacific...near San Diego, stood barefoot in the sandy waters with my family in the same spot where I played as a young girl...walked the same pier....your poem took me back for a moment...longing for that sea breeze! :) Love, Carrie
