No Heaven On Earth
May 8, 2012
The gates of faith open to me
I’m tired
I’m done
I have done what I was sent to do
He stands there with stars in his eyes
And in his hands
He looks upon me and says
Well done
I lay to the long rest
Sleep
No tears or pain or regret
No earthly things here
Just him and what he is
The place I was will have to go on without me
It was never my home
For with him I am home
These words come from me and what I have experienced
The things I love the most
Are not of this earth
I’ve never seen him
I’ve never touched him
But now I am here
And it was worth the wait.
