The Promised Land

The Promised Land
poem
Lionel Derbyshire

In the dark I glance a silhouette I see..
A formation in arrangement from neck to toe I see.
A face creation in mask I cannot makeout constructed with neck and toe.
Like a whispering it politely comes to fetching me.
A silhouette so devine I fully see.
In neck and toe and stretched out arms.
It is white and lights up the dark.
Moving close to me..
Floating on neck and toe.
The angel arch bending over me 
Starts to pamper me.

I am divine goods to be returned to my heaven's master.
In a precious life I have lived...
There was no pre-arrangement deal and
No longevity guaranteed.

A silhouette whispers me ..
God is calling thee.
Woe I verve with bitterness and trouble I foresee.

I see a angel's gleaming face in radiant animation.
Coming from a land in all it's enduring eternity ..
It rapture's with elation.
It is Elysium.
Without protest and to glee I see the guarantee ..
My act on earth is done.
Aboard I obtain a place
Just before breakfast I go
And see..
The Promised Land.

It was then in awe
I saw GOD 
And wordless
Understood all my fears
In the presence of
LORD JESUS CHRIST
my saviour ...
