Heaven Bound

My journey’s arrived at the final gate

The gatekeeper declares, “You need to wait!”

I look around to see who else is near

I’m pretty sure I deserve to be here

I took a peek through the gate and beyond

Then turned and said, “No, this is where I belong!”

The light was welcoming like before noon

“Massages” on a big sign in a gold room

I saw through a window, horses grazing

A sign by the door, “For the Horse Crazy”

Another sign said, “Yoga teacher needed”

Where yogis were practicing deep breathing

A desk was waiting with the perfect light

For someone like me who would love to write

Two leashes by the door for the dogs

It’s their heaven, too, and they love their walks

The food on the tables just blew my mind

Wine and chocolate and cheese of every kind

Everything here is what heaven would seem

I was sure heaven was ready for me

The gatekeeper gently pried me away

“This is your someday but it’s not today

You hit your head when you fell off you chair

Your body’s still alive so go back there!”

Whiskey

Gliding around this beautiful sphere

Imagination navigates as my thoughts steer

Embracing the peace I feel all around

I’m suddenly prompted, “You MUST go down!”

I halt my thoughts and do an about face

Receive my assignment then zip through space

Arriving here at a tavern bar

Spirit telling me, “this is where it starts”

Spirit’s showing me a man that’s gone home

A grieving woman sitting here alone

Drinking whiskey to kill the pain inside

Dark souls waiting, hoping to hitch a ride

She stood up fast then passed out on the ground

The dark souls were gathering all around

The fractured light was her soul’s submission

I pushed them aside and then I rushed in

I wrapped her in light, her soul surrendered

I knew my purpose was to defend her

The dark souls retreated, then they soon left

I stayed with her soul while her body slept.

Kriya

The archers came from nowhere dressed in white

Two knelt quickly and aimed their bows just right

With skills and confidence they’ve acquired

The arrows flew with their cargo of fire

One turned to the other, I heard him speak

“That was just perfect, we sunk them real deep!”

The flames grew quickly, the fire red hot

Witnessing the damage had me distraught

I flew upstairs to assist the escape

Panic and mayhem were on full display

She was rushing to rescue her scared child

As the flames of the fire grew more wild

The time had passed for material cares

All that mattered was getting out of there

I stayed with her till I knew she was safe

Then quietly faded out of her way

The angels were sent to make me let go

Of what held me back, made my progress slow

The things I thought defined me are now gone

Living life simple is where I belong
