Heaven's gates swing wide open
Revealing lush gardens and paths
As a throng of wide eyed innocent
Children run pass the check in desk
...
With expansive wings
Enfolding, gently guiding
Kind words effortlessly
Floating through a cloud chimed sky
...
Amidst brilliant skies
A sparrow carried your soul
Far from mortal eyes
...
Empty dark eyes
Staring into space
Feeling devoid of purpose,
Have you embraced the grave?
...
When my long journey on earth comes to an end
And the river of tears flow out to the sea
When silence appears like a long lost friend
And time alone replaces the feeling of 'we'
