Beyond Death

For life until my last breath

Now I am beyond death

I have traveled long

Suffered immensely

Now, I am at peace

Now, I can breathe

Through celestial lungs

My memories have been restored

Clarity, remembrance, virtue

I loved her

I still do

She travels with me

Everywhere I journey

In this ‘other realm’

Some call it heaven

Some the other side

But, it is real as I have always known

I was a man of faith

I was a man of integrity

I was kind, patient, loyal, generous

I taught her many things, she says

How to wait

How to believe in herself

How to cook

She was my little girl

She still is…

And I wait

Because she is waiting for me

She is alone, but surrounded by light

She is ever growing into divine light

Created by it, protected by it

Sustained by it

I am grateful for this

I am grateful for my life

Though now I see through different eyes,

Ones devoid of pain and suffering

Ones not set in the earthly flesh

Eyes that cross the barrier of time

So sit with me, love

Feel safe, have courage

I am with you every step of the way,

And I am waiting for you

Live every moment of your life to the fullest

Be for life, just as I taught you

Be patient my love

And I will embrace you when you take your last breath just as you did me,

And you will join with me, beyond death
