A Life To Be Lived

Falling, falling into the void Must be my journey to hell I thought Nothing there except the paranoia Through my own life I had brought I trembled in fear at what was to come I looked around for the fire That was to consume me from the beyond At the moment I expired The only thing I saw were beings of light Surrounding me but they did not touch For my soul was in its own journey’s fight To find the real truth as such The fire did not come though my fears continued to wait For surely God would throw me down As my life wasn’t lived on the narrow and straight So how could I expect a crown? Then I saw how I treated every person I met Through my own eyes and theirs My prejudices I saw and and also my hate And I cried out for my own life’s repair Finally, I relaxed and felt the love From the void that enveloped me Looking up from the dark to Heaven above I knew my soul was finally free The lesson I learned from the dream so real Is to treat all I meet as part of God For the hate I send is the hate I feel In this world and the world beyond. ©Deborah M Kelly 2023
