Through death we find life and beyond the edges of darkness
there is left a mortal coil and precious memories,
brighten the darkness of deaths dimmed lights.
I know you will miss me and forget me not,
but remember me with joy and not loss.
Smile with delight; do not weep for me,
as I now walk in the brightest of lights
waiting for you to join me here,
beyond the skies and clouds where angels glide.
Above the moon and looking down upon the stars…
Here I await, holding a light of greater days;
when you and I, shall sit here in Heavens bountiful garden of light…
Awakened souls sing harmoniously through the nights
as candles lit on high shine amongst the petals of each rose,
that no longer has a thorn…
All souls gathered in the awakening of the new born,
celebrating birth from death,
souls dance and began to live forever on…
So, when you think of me, toast and smile
for the death of light, shines brightly
as I walk in the midst of everlasting life.

Prompt
Light of Death
10 lines more or less
When I am gone do not cry for me.
I am where I have always craved to be, I love my family here in life,
Yet I miss the ones that have already gone on before me and dreamed of the day I would hold my grandmothers hand again and tell her I love her, I am only gone from here on earth I am not gone forever, I await you all as she has awaited me and others before her had waited for her. We will meet you in Heaven when God calls your name.

"All souls gathered in the awakening of the new born,
celebrating birth from death...
Souls dance and began to live forever on…
So, when you think of me, toast to me and smile
