The Golden Door

With Shine and Glimmer of such Beauty
It whispers to You to come near
Giving Promises of what is to come
and what it says is Perfectly clear

a place of no pain or hunger
where you are truly free
everywhere there is light
no gravity and you take flight

what you may ask is beyond that door
it is the next phase in life
and fear it not for it shall be
because it is the next step of our soul

where do we go from here
you only know when you get there 
you might sleep a billion years
or you might only be gone in a twinkling

Death is beyond that door
it is not a ending at all
but a page turned and we all go there
embrace this, do not dispare it

some say there is a heaven
so I might say this is hell
what awaits us is written in stone
but in the end we are not alone
