The Poets Garden Poet
​
Life is fluidity of exchanging how we feel, live, think, and, even, how we breath every moment! Writing helps us to understand those motions of existence by sharing with others in ways that, hopefully, they can relate to in their own lives!

“Beyond This World, You Watch Over Us!”
Upon future days of freedom,
Therein, a golden palace with thee...
I see...
Such beauty gathered in Heaven's gates...
You smile...
And laugh with me...
How are you, Brother, Mother, Father, Aunties, Uncles, And Grands?
Wonderful, It is to be...
Nearer to this bliss you have all found...
Blessings have been bestowed...
With bounties....
A plethora...
Indeed!
Flowing fountains, waves, and sand...
Fields full of flowers covering, flowing, enriching, vibrant grasses...
From end to end...
Whispering shadows...
How are you, my old friends?
Stoic mountains abound...
I gasp!
Where clever endeavors release chains...
Breaking away...
Clearing those burdens from all angels passed!
Freedom, and sacrifice felt on those shores...
Lifted from spirits...
Where Eagles have soared...
Grandest canyons...deep below your vast golden doors!
Who is to weep whence all is so serene...
When pain that was...
Is nothing but joy...
And as soon as we are together again,
My heart will be with you and yours...
Until then,
Watch over us...
Me?
I will be waving to you all with my feet on that beach...
Swimming out in our ocean's tides...
Thinking of how we spent it there for so long...
Keeping you with me...
So sure that you are sharing my memories...
On the rest of this life's rides...
Always surrounding...
Always at my side!
