Now you're gone
You were here yesterday,
now you're gone, passed away,
Cruel death has victory. In times of bereavement, support feels elusive, yet I search for solace.
News came swift that you had died,
It couldn't be, I screamed, denied,
Grief took hold, I cried and cried. In my sorrow, I long for counselling services to help navigate this pain.
There are no answers from the world around,
In your religion is salvation found?
Busy world knows not what to say,
Like an express train on their way,
Material lives, living for today.
Science claims answers in this modern world,
We are but dust, we have no soul,
rich or poor, boy or girl. My grief takes hold, and overwhelming,
Bewildered, lost, darkness closing in,
Can't accept won't see you again.
My eyes are blind, but you can see,
I just don't feel you near to me. Your soul is near, you still exist,
Life's cruel illusion is a mist. Your soul is free of all the pain,
Yet, you're surprised, you are the same. Heaven is beautiful, you know that now,
Others you loved are there somehow.
Heaven is real, green valleys and trees,
Flowers caressed by gentle breeze,
No pain, no fear, love is the air,
A place like home, ready for you there.
You try to reach to tell me this,
Yet, the wall between us, impenetrable mist,
of material world teaching souls don't exist,
Leaves me trapped in grief,
Time stops, I twist... and cry.

OUR GUARDIAN ANGELS ACCOMPANY US IN HEAVEN
A Library in Heaven
My soul set free from my body, my life
I float on a path towards a building white,
The Heaven I hoped for shines all around
I breathe air of love, see beauty profound.
Heaven is light, love, joy and peace
Beauty, safety, I feel wonderful, at ease,
I see radiant Angels, sense power of the Creator above,
Overwhelming, infinite, unconditional love.
Heaven offers rest, to recover from life’s pain,
Then time to review, start learning again.
A brilliant white building in front of me
Is a place of further learning, a Library,
I see before me many books of life,
For everyone who ever lived their toils, their strife,
Their joy, sorrow, happiness, fun,
The times they had to fight, battles lost and won.
I see a book now, with my name bold and clear,
Should I reach to grasp it? My Angel guide says “Don’t fear”,
Each page is a day of your life we did give
Every moment, every minute I may view and relive.
I open a page of happiness and joy
Go back to my childhood when I was a boy,
My Angel guide told me, in a most gentle way,
to visit a page where my life went astray.
Did I hurt others? I was blind but now see,
I now feel the hurt, caused directly by me.
I can enter the page, and I’m in life again
At that moment in time when I caused someone pain.
I can work it through differently not self-centred, but care,
Understand how others feel, learn how to share.
In moments of grief, I seek mediumship readings,
Hoping for spiritual signs to ease the heartache.
I awoke, it was dawn,
Was this a vision, had I dreamed?
I’m alive, not passed away, it was real, so it seemed.
