It's finished
this long journey
which never really began
and cannot ever end
yet, for now, drops you off
at heaven's door
The angels are waiting
their harps
softly tinkling
their wings
spread wide
to shield you, just briefly,
from love's blinding light
You'll happily rest
in their safe embrace
and watch with eyes closed
the celebration
of your return
leaving your smile
in tomorrow's rainbow
So, my love
sleep your final sleep
for I am at last ready
to say goodbye
Poignant, touching and so loving. It gave me chills.
