Door to Heaven by Clare
Where have I come from
where will I go
the door it has opened
to where I don’t know
*
it crept in as light
just under a bit
then it grew bigger
my entire room was lit
*
it beckoned for me
“come this way” it said
oh what was I thinking
when I got out of bed?
*
which foot do I start with
which shoes do I wear
a bit tentative
before me its dare
*
I have dreamt of this day
for years in a glass
and now that it’s here
I fear what will pass
*
none for those thoughts
there’s much more to find
take one walking stick
give no thought behind
What awaits us as we walk out the door of this life into a new reality? I believe that death is like a door that we walk through and there is a new world called heaven with plenty of green rolling hills to traverse.
“Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name”.
Revelation 3:8
It sounds fabulous.

An interesting perspective in the poem.

Wonderful words and a great question to begin with.;)
Enjoyed the path. Everyone is curious to know what’s behind that door; the irony once there to know, we will not be here to share.

To speak of walking sticks… another “bottom drawer folk art” hobby of mine.
walking stick
leave no thoughts behind
fill the trail
Grand verse… pulling out the “thoughts.” _m

beyond the back door
not a mere stick my hands hold

This is such a visual poem, great work. It reads and sings well. I felt like I was looking through the eyes of a kid reading this 🙂 There’s always so much to discover out there behind the door, out there in the light.

I just finished a children’s fantasy so I think all my work is sounding a bit fanciful – funny. Mabel thank you so much the door really wrote its own poem.

I don’t know what death is, nor do I even have an inkling of what I perceive will happen when I die. But I do know, I’ve made peace with it, it no longer scares me.
