There Is a View

Within my heart blossoms the thought eternity that's spent with you. No hate, no pain, no battles fought forever peace beyond the blue - heights Elysian, heaven's vision. Imagine death as we've been taught as separation from earth's view. The sacrifice that has been wrought is providential, clear breakthrough - beyond the tomb where lilies bloom. written February 25, 2018 entered in Broken Wings' contest Rhyme Me a Posie

a spiritual side but hopefully not overdone. There are other interpretations, depending on the reader's background and personal experience at the moment. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.
