My Heaven

 

 

I

lie here

eyes closed

 

cast among the angels
reaching my arms skyward
pleading for your loving forgiveness

From my demise
I feel the warmth of your hand
raising me up,  to be among your saints

In shelters made
before the hands of time
were turned to day and night,
you placed me in your home above

With the kiss of forgiveness
I am cleansed and made pure for you
immersed and released,  from my traumatic past

With every burden
washed away, I am finally free
left lightened and lifted by your word
a peace of thought encloses me, in deep relief

All around me
the faces I have loved and lost
standing in the brilliant light, of tender warmth

I feel the hands of angels
touch me, in splendid care and love
caressing in soft acceptance, my humble soul

The face of God is upon me
warmly welcoming me to his salvation
calling in clear words, my name as one with him
All is past and done, come to me in my heaven, live again

My faithful Son


Richard Lee

    Beautiful

    I wish my dreams were so beautiful.
  • Wonderful write very wishful leaving a message that one could feel it was written for them , a pleasant dream to be gifted with A sign of new birth and life "of your own of course" A stepping stone to change of being on the right path... I love dreams often so many times hidden messages can be found in them. I study dreams a lot and have read many books which explain a dream... however this dream sees new birth and awakening in ones souls, I am guessing this was given to you before a large life change LOvely write, thanks for sharing your dream as well...

    Hi Rick,

    This is a very soothing poem for me to read right now. I feel your spiritual poems are just as beautiful as your love poetry, both written with grace and a lovely style that is simply yours.

    A few quick fixes:
    “cast among the angles (angels)”
    “emerced” I think you meant “immersed” ?
    “My faithfull (faithful) Son”

    I wish my dreams were this peaceful lately, but perhaps reading this will somehow find its way into my head. I really enjoyed this piece and wish you the best of luck in the contest.

    Much love,
    ~J.

      Sweet Trista


      Sorry I took so long to answer your comment
      I am focused outside right now doing spring chores

      See, I do things and don`t even have to be told
      I am what is know as Self Motovating... Cool

      I made the fixes. Thank you for liking this, I think it may be my best non-romantic verse to date

      I say this in humility, I just like the many meanings of the words as I rendered it to God

      I hope he likes my thoughts as well. I wish he would comment

      Love you Always, Rick

    Awsome Words

    Wow! Where do I begin. These words are so excellently chosen to depict vividly, and softly like only your gentile words can, the state of Heaven, in its triumphant glory. You make the story, universally told thru thought by every man, even by those whose very thoughts, when spent adorning a heavenly idea, commit blasphemy, become real to the reader. This is a heavenly treasure, and that’s why you are “the talent.” Bob

      Hi R.L.McCarthy MD.


      Thank you for saying Awsome (I think the sprlling is off on that..lol) Cool, Me correcting spelling.

      I have seen Grandma Case and Joe and Mom, in my dreams. Saw them as saints, is that amazing. Perhaps there is hope for the mass of simmers like me.

      My ego likes being the talent, but you have your Dr. to support yours. Mabey some day, some collage will give me one. Then I can be Dr, tooo

      CooL... See you Friday, peace and love, Rick

    This is so beautifully written and inspiring, Rick. Your words seem Heaven sent, spoken with love.

    I am especially touched by this stanza:

    "With every burden
    washed away, I am finally free
    left lightened and lifted by your word
    a peace of thought encloses me, in deep relief"

    Those words are a prayer of thankfulness for me. This is an excellent piece and truly from your heart.

    In the first line... did you mean for 'her' to be 'here'?

    Good luck in the contest

    Serenity

    This write brings me a feeling of peace and serenity... I long for the day when I can be at peace with everything that I've endured in this lifetime. In all that we do here on earth, good and evil, this write tells of the unconditional love and acceptance that our Father has for his children, something that is not fully available or achieved here on this earth from our earthly brothers and sisters, per se...

    Very inspirationally written.... Good luck in the contest

    My Dear Rick:
    Heaven won't be heaven until you light the sky with your precious heart and amazing soul. I remember lots of your peaceful dreams, which all were beautiful.

    " I feel the hands of angels
    touch me, in splendid care and love
    caressing in soft acceptance, my humble soul

    The face of God is upon me
    warmly welcoming me, to his salvation
    calling in clear words, my name as one with him
    All is past and done, come to me in my heaven, live again ".

    Rick you have a place in Heaven awaiting you, my friend.

    Most beautiful words, you make heaven sound oh so lovely. I long to see for myself. This magnificent piece has touched my heart this morning. Thank you for so many things, but mostly I thank you for being you.

    Loveandblessings2u & yours always
    Love you,
    Your Buddy, Your Friend,
    Your Joy, Your Joyce
