Journey To Bliss

In the midst of the fiercest conflicts
Conflicts that rattle even the GOD's chosen
My Love for you grows in strength still
First Towards the earth to garner rooted-support 
like the mystery Chinese Bamboo tree 
Death was a wish
In a rage of contempt and hurricane of hate,
the world would stop at nothing
their laugh to scorn was a raging inferno
Because our plumule above the earth surface refused,
their mockeries spread like wild fire
But then suddenly
when all hope seemed crushed into nothingness
Did a speedy race begin
In a race with the light to the sun
A race that dumb-founds even the skies and its splendor
To the heavens it reaches 
and to the galaxies it waves
A dwarfing sight of heights 
that makes the mighty Mt. Kilimanjaro look like a speck of dust
an achievement that out-shines the sun
In a journey that races beyond a million light-years
Now all ears will blast open
Into the tunnel of prudence 
With zest non can stand 
Wisdom ripples, in strength it looms
With cringing timidity,
Folly paved way
Our silent roar is finally heard
Now their mouth is shut forever as we blossom into bliss for all eternity
My troubled Soul longs for you my Love,
Shattered, I reach for you my GOD sent Elixir,
With my every harsh Word, 
your serenity my soul finds
My heart yearns for the awe of your affection
expressing my deepest Love your majesty I crave
with a mouth shut in pride
But heart so sorry 
it bleeds with an endless plea
Then I remembered the Words of my Savior,
In this life, like a gang of tornado 
Tribulations will come rushing,
Ripping us apart
and pressing harder than an incubus
But be of good cheers,
for I have overcome the world,
"Love" said with a smile that births new Hope
Words that crushed sleep and it's roaring snores
Deep Into the nights I searched
"Giving up" was not in the options
The map to bliss has loads of sharp edged ups and steep downs 
In a silent whisper
I got a lead into the beginning of forever
My heart swam into the sea of remembrance 
Light years Away from the shore,
 I found the floating words of wisdom
"There is no diamond without it's rough and undesirable dirt" it reads
To our gloom, dirt and filth,
from the north rose a cathartic wind of fresh breath
bringing with it a glow that coruscates beauty in the midst of clogged uncertainties
then to even loftier sphere of Heavenly glories
like the Union of eagles and the strong winds
when our wings of Love we'll lock in understanding
 Together We'll soar in a ride to bliss forever.

I decided to scribble the affection of my thoughts as they jumped out to me and caressed my mind into theater of Bliss, with this poetic-prose a journey began. The Journey to Bliss is not without its blisters. Feels good though.
