The Dream I Lived By~

I closed my eyes and there she was
Her arms outstretched as if to offer a hug
I had sinned in the past and it was time to go
She looked at me with tears that flowed

I prayed for forgiveness and did not know if she heard
For she looked at me with sadness and said not a word
I went down on one knee out of respect
She lifted my chin and I rose up instead

Her face was beautiful and she appeared concerned
I don’t know why but my spirit yearned
The image stayed with me throughout every phase of the dream
Even when I awoke it all felt real and seemed

To repeat itself up until this present day
The idea that Heaven was only an arms away
I remember the angelic figure had wings that brushed my face
The dream moved slow as if at a snail’s pace

Each time I had one of those dreams at night
All my past wrongs were made right
The burden I carried for years seemed to dissipate
Every dream takes one from my closet permanently

I have hurt many loved ones with my selfish deeds
I am not proud of or by any means pleased
With the outcome of the events that unfolded like a script
I felt in my heart I deserved the harshest punishment

The setting always appeared to be the same
I felt that I was no longer one to blame
The wings comforted me and guided my weary mind
Soothed my scars and left nothing behind

This dream was vivid as if it had just occurred
That heavenly Angel protected me from the outside world
The love she gave me when my soul begun to die
The feeling that consumed my body afterwards told me why
