(561) My Vision Poem by Melvina Germain

Lying motionless supported by a soft bed of grass, my thoughts
ran wild, endless thoughts from the beginning of my life to the end and
beyond. My eyes opened wide as I lay in a pre slumber state. The
most amazing vision unfolded right before my eyes, clouds began to
move in every direction, a kaleidoscope of colors burst into view. The
clouds descended to the earth floor gently creating forms. I
couldn’t believe my eyes, a stairway took form, at the top of this
remarkable stairway, clouds began to dance and take on more shapes.
Yes shapes of Angels and instruments, harpsichords, violins, trumpets
and more. The Angels took their instruments and began to play, oh the
music was a beautiful setting, a serene, peaceful atmosphere, filled with
tranquility. My body felt weightless, relaxed, a euphoric feeling yet
I was wide awake now taking in all the beauty of this tremendous
display of heavenly works. At the bottom of the stairway, I saw a
mist like shape taking form in a long line, soon this shape took on
other forms, yes forms of people were all in a line. They glowed and
sparkled in their beauty, covered in silvery white shimmering folds
of crystallized tulle. At that point I realized, these were the people
who had just passed on and they were going toward the stairway to
start their journey up to Heavens gate. The Angels soared above
them as if counting them to make sure they were all there. Hovering
over them, continuing to play the most beautiful music ever to
be heard. One by one each person lifted their hands up high as they
started up the stairway, then a light at the top of the stairs shone, the
brightest light you ever did see. As each person reached the top of the
stairway, they disappeared into the light. When the last person reached
the top, the Angels gathered and they slowly faded into the clouds. The
stairway also faded away and the clouds took their place back high in
the sky. My body began to shake as the heavenly spirit took over.
I stood up and raised my arms to the heavens and prayed out loud to
my Lord, I thanked him for this marvelous vision, I dropped to my knees
and continued to pray as I’ve never prayed before. The tears ran down my
face as I laughed and bathed in the essence of his glory. This was one
of the most precious gifts the Lord has given me. He taught me, death
is not to be feared, it sends you on the path to heavens stairs and a way
to find that glorious light to the kingdom of paradise. God continues
To plant the seeds in the landscape of my mind, therefore I will have
no fear, no despair, no hesitation, I will not try to hang on here by
the use of human mechanics. I will graciously move forward and
take my place at the bottom of heavens stairs and await my turn to
take that final walk, up those glorious stairs to the light of heavens
gate For the rest of my days on this earth, I will continue to thank God
for this remarkable vision.
