Abandonment
Standing at the doorway to Heaven
The Light beckons, calling me
Rapture!
But the gates shut when I step
before it; a creature of light
stands behind the pearly gates
within the confines of Heaven
Blankness painted its face
Emotions didn’t show.
Then I sort of knew
What had happened.
“Your heart’s been closed-
You can no longer accept the light of God
Go, thou arth not welcomed in.
Thou belongst amongst the Forsaken.
Go.”
With that the gates vanished before me
But not before it lit the shadows behind.
I see a million smiles; welcoming me within their folds.
“Come, join us, brethren,”
It’s been an eternity since I’ve stood amongst the lost souls
And all of us are still waiting in the shadows
Biding our time before we get a second chance
If it ever comes at all.
