Deeper vibes and virtues
Far beyond Earth and space itself
Flesh forbidden
Discovery not
Everlasting frontier
Heaven is near
Atmosphere from the very beginning
Spaceships can’t reach
Missiles have no defense
Barrier restrictions
Faith is the order to enter
Front and Center
A wish to explore
Heavens ignore
Deeper man wants to intrude
Heavens conclude
Deeper man thinks
Deeper journey spiritual.
“A life leaving traces after death . . .
a blessing we extol with every breath.”
__by Poet
So many years ago my parents passed,
each leaving well before considered old.
And so, for them, my sorrow yearned at last
to know that they live on, as scriptures hold.
At their two graves, I stood and wept goodbyes
and then each night prayed long for God to say
that they were safe with Him in Heaven's skies;
please have them show me in their special way.
My prayers were answered by a dream she sent.
Dear Mom, with twinkling eyes, threw me a kiss.
Then, forming hugs with arms embraced, she went
among the clouds, assuring me her bliss.
Years later, when my Dad had passed away,
a rose upon his coffin ended strife;
by chance, within a book was placed to lay
upon some words that proved Eternal Life.
Two loved ones leaving traces after death!
This filled my heart with comfort through the years.
And now, I hold the truths displayed in depth;
so thankful that these answers dried my tears.
As the deer longs for running streams—
Therese missed chocolate éclair creams
That’ll make sense if you see her movie
by St. Luke Productions — it is groovy! :)
But in the last scene, her soul rose above—
her prior statement, proclaiming True Love!
When you closed your eyes a final time,
twin amber oceans slowly died.
Somewhere amidst the seamless mist,
a newly minted soul in pristine winged bliss.
A heavenly harmony rides an eternal tide,
I pray for a star-dusted stroll to the brighter side.
Until then, the plow horse plows a winter field
A blue seed of memory stirs just beneath an icy shield.
A canine’s heaven is a simple thing
A good walk or game of tug
Most definitely a warm lap
Or soft couch to curl up on
It’s all the things we humans provide
In love
Given so freely not just out of the goodness
Of our hearts, but as an offering
To the goodness in theirs
It makes you wonder sometimes
About heaven for us
Are we giving now
What it takes to receive it now
And if not now, when?
(10/2/26)
Revelation has begun
Ages of time arrived
The World was given a chance
Well in advance
What Biblical words had stated
Prophesied by a Prophet
Look and observe the signs
Keep praying in mine
The World will be judged, and books will be opened
Tongue confessions after confessions will come out
Chosen one’s will be granted in Heaven’s space
No need for baggage, but have your soul well packed
Faith confirms your reservation
Heaven’s new day
The train has arrived
Step aboard
Thank the Lord.
I felt a sudden warmth around me, and a cool breeze blowing over me, I looked around to see what it could be but all I see was me. It was me feeling the warmth in me, it was me casting the shadows over the seas and it was me walking around with me. There is a mural around the sun, and it has been there before the universe began, the moon and the stars surround it, and a special force is protecting it. The earth is really warm and something unusual will reveal itself before the break of dawn, a thunderstorm will not do the tele-graphic image will open it to you. I scroll my thoughts around the radiant sun, and I could feel the energy advancing around me and something peculiar pushing me. Nature is sending a message to you so make sure you get it before the day is through, for somethings magnetic is transpiring in the air but the pressure will keep everything intact before you get there. The mural around the sun is me and it sends energy to the magnetic field so watch out for that oversized deal.
I will offer my heart, so that it may be yours by the right.?
I will give you myself unto sacrifice, that you may live.
You may break my heart, that I might suffer while yet young.?
You may stab me with a knife, because you believe you know better—?
better than God, in whom all things are created;?
better than the devil himself, in whom things are destroyed;?
better than the world and all people unborn;?
better than angels, whose will is in God.
Better than my words—?for the deed of your will shall speak thee,?
and in that deed be revealed the evil within?of one who drives his knife into the innocent children.
Is Heaven Horizontal?
by Frank Daub
Is Heaven horizontal, Up, AWAY?
Or in the sky?
How ?
Will I find that place on the second when I Die?
Time seems most essential
for the journey that must be.
Preparation? Consequential.
It is ETERNITY.
Is there someone who can say?
Is Heaven a STATE – Of mind?
A condition of the – SOUL?
What will I find?
The mystery of a never-ending role?
A Condition that after journey, Becomes fruition,
based upon the pleasure of the Guide.
And if a Guide, the mission?
To start -- I died.
Is Heaven UP, horizontal, AWAY,
Or in the sky?
Too much negativity can lead astray --
what you see is more of what you
will get; what you hear are the echoes
that your heart will send back – what you pray are
the angels you will attract...the God
type who will lead them. Entertain in your mind
deceit, greed, war and violence, greater fire and smoke
will suck the air from your experienced everyday environment.
Speak vehemence, vengeance, and the Lord of retribution
will contrive your footsteps and flying – the deity
of heavens and hells will imprint new
such drama landscapes, battles of your dawns and nights.
One manifests, forms and reforms fears and desires his
deluded heart and soul mistakenly empower. Clean
one’s self, and both heaven and hell
will be at last an immaculate harmony of peace and shared
love. Heaven on earth. No Second Coming till then.
No head, first so with it crowned
But is humbly bowed.
Servant with sonship, believer
So honoured endowed.
To my dear unborn children,
I love you with all my heart,
Hope you're enjoying heaven,
I'll meet you all in heaven,
Where we'll have fun, dear children;
You're all a part of my heart,
Fulfill the wish of my heart,
God, take me soon to heaven,
I want to see my children;
My children live forever in my heart and in heaven.
It's birthday time in heaven
the one I love is there.
I would love to send her some flowers
to show how much I care.
If I could only say I love you
and hold her in my arms.
But all that's left are memories
and some precious photographs.
So if flowers grow in heaven
lord pick a rose for me.
And present it to the one I love
Then kiss her tenderly.
Tell her how much I miss and love her
and in my heart she'll always stay.
Sleep peacefully my angel in heaven
thinking of you on this special day.
God bless.

Sigueme
por el camino del Cordero,
angosto y recto-
qué hasta la cima
os lleva del paraíso eterno.
Porqué es humildad
la qué purifica
a él alma e cuerpo.
Y sólo así es qué
entonces os podrías
conocer, aplenitud,
the purísima felicidad.
Time is like the flow of water; it flows, it moves, it creates and loves with its flow.
Time is the movement of all things; it has no end, it moves at its pace, like a runner it has its pace.
Sometimes time move slow, than fast, it seems to control its speed and can go fast than slow.
Time controls a lot, it allows us time to miss or be in a spot, like an arrow moving in space; it has the ability to control the outcome.
Time we have to pray, to love, to forgive, are all gifts from God on our way through this life.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
