The Journey To the Cosmic Beyond

The Journey to the Cosmic Beyond

Life
God’s divine spark heralds our mortal presence on this Earth,
Whilst angels sing their mystic paeans to our cosmic rebirth.
The soul’s constant transformation transcends all mortality,
As it brings each of us closer to God’s vision of immortality.
Life should be lived by all with due passion and sincere love,
As we mortals reflect on Life’s true meaning in Heaven above. 
This mortal coil defines our self-existence in this human strife!
   
Death
Death bringeth a spiritual transition at the end of our mortal days, 
And its reality frees our souls to find their destiny in many ways.
After death our souls can now seek out their cosmic connections,
And return to God’s Kingdom to share their earth-life reflections.
Death itself should never be feared but embraced at the end of life,
For our souls shall findeth spiritual freedom and opportunities rife.
With death comes a new beginning as our souls ascend into eternity!

Hell
This spiritual possibility exists for those souls with big debts to pay,
As earthly sins come home to roost, and Lucifer shall have his way!
Redemption’s possible for some souls with minor mortal infractions,
Whilst others reside here forever as Dante smiles at their sad reactions! 
His Inferno is truly horrid for those who enter in shall forfeit all hope,
As Lucifer turns a literary portrayal into a reality as all souls must cope! 
Hell’s that darkest cosmic state of mind where things macabre rule all!

Heaven
One’s holy place in the realm of the “Pearly Gates” is the true intention
Of souls who profer their goodness but reckon not with God’s objection!
Others shall ascend here for good deeds done to help those in real need,
Whilst others with hidden warts and all shall be revealed for their greed!
Despite mortal flaws, Heaven’s the place for many who strive their best
In God’s eyes and realize the reality of who they are at end of their quest!
God’s judgment may oft be merciful yet must never be taken for granted! 

Cosmic Beyond
Life, Death, Hell, and Heaven from the view of Mother Earth are refined
By how mortals interpret biblical scripture with holy deliverance in mind. 
Yet as souls make their way to God’s heavenly realm they may surely see,
More from God’s infinite creation of the universe and who they are to be!
God’s wish may be for us to discover, learn and experience as we move on,
With spiritual love and appreciation of His creations in the Cosmic Beyond!
The Cosmic Beyond knows no astral borders, is limitless, and is eternity!
