Eternal Light Poem by Penni Currie

Then the angel came and said
'look up my child, do not be afraid.
Look into the light, for what is revealed
is only the reflection of your inner self.
Your wants. and desires are shown here.
Reflected in the light.
Open up, reveal your soul,
come alive this night.'

The child said 'but I'm so afraid.
The light is very bright.
It's so high up, I'll never reach.
I don't have the knowledge that you teach.'

'Just close your eyes', the angel said.
'Flow with the pictures that come into your head.
'Mingle and mix and float through your dream.
Too soon you will learn nothing is as it seems'.

The child's eye shed a tear,
for in her heart she knew,
this vision spoke the truth to her,
and through her dreams she flew.
Flew towards the point of light.
Flew towards the conclusion.
Flew towards the journey's end,
where there could be no confusion.

This is heaven, this is death.
Oh what a wonderous sight.
Just close your eyes and slowly sink
into the the eternal light.
