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.
