Soaring To Heaven

Soaring to Heaven 

***

Took too long waking up to see

In life only love has lasting value

Loving under full moon willow trees

I once held her down by the bayou

Took too long to see the truth in her eyes

Our future would lead to different paths 

Too painful to face humbled I cried

Love not nurtured turns cold

Grows old folds and dies 

Took too long to remember my dear

Her breath sweet kisses beautiful flower

My love fragile hers fiery and tender

Youth's folly broke us apart forever

Took too long to realize 

By writing

Slowly faces lifetimes 

I would remember 

Living illusory dreaming 

On times empty lifeboat 

Of burning embers 

Took too long to understand 

Life can end in glory

Love remains never ceases

Even if our life ends early

I should have known years ago

I was too slow to understand 

Don't waste a moment of life

We may soon depart and go 

Remember the Path of Love

What was forgotten

Long ago

Healing nectar rivers wind

Massaging my mind

Flowing into life's sea

Waves gently kiss me

Letting go of suffering

I had to undergo

She and I 

Our past tumbling

Dominoes 

Drink the blood

Eat the flesh

Her hair flows

A mansion awaits

Through the narrow gate

Holy spirit overflowing 

Paying homage above

Praising the Great Shepherd 

Word made flesh whispers

My wounded heart uncovered 

Showering blessings

On all equally

Unconditional loving

In divine winds of freedom

All beings

Leaving the nest

Flying off as

Doves

Soaring to

Heaven
