The Beautiful After Life

Midnight - as I look up into the clear black sky scattered with millions of sparkling stars:

I see you dancing, twirling and pirouetting with beautiful angels
I see the sparkling blue, pink and purple sequins of your dress
I see the dusting of gold glitter on angel wings gently shimmering 
I see the bright blue of your twinkling eyes and your blonde haloed hair
I see you throwing bright white stars shooting across the black sky
I see you wandering the Milky Way as if through fields of golden corn
I see your joyful laughter creating perfect paintbox rainbows
I see you resting, curled up in the waxing crescent of the moon
I see your glassy teardrops falling as clear cut diamonds
I see you energetically playing hop scotch on Cassiopeia
I see you lounging on soft white fluffy cumulus clouds
I see you in another world, another existence
I see you happy and carefree
I see you every night
