Heaven
Lined with glittering gold,
filling passerby's with envy.
The gate to paradise stands,
awaiting the chosen few.
Indescribable beauty within,
the very essence of joy is overwhelming.
All darkness is washed clean,
leaving pure light in it's wake.
Supernatural spirits embody this land,
waiting for your arrival.
With arms wide open,
welcoming the newcomers.
Everyday better than yesterday,
no lid to limit your emotion.
Your feelings overwhelm you,
with splendor you gaze about.
You begin your ascent up the golden step,
rising to the King of Kings.
Laughter springs up all about,
soon it consumes you.
Don't look back,
the left behind made their choice.
Lose all sight of the past,
don't regret your path.
Walk up the stairs into Heaven.
