Drifting between Heaven and Earth
Images come of the first rebirth
Floating in serenity with eyes closed
Hanging on a sleep cliff slightly poised
Pictures passing through the mind
Of landscaped horizons so sublime
Mountains and forest in shades of gray
Shift and change scenes like in a play
Suddenly a forest of silhouetted black trees
Gradually disappearing all but one that I could see
One big familiar tree made my heart soar
The shaped leaves and branches I’d seen before
The Tree of Life appeared before my closed eyes
Transforming into another shape against the sky
One by one the branches faded slowly away
Leaving a glowing Cross as the only part to stay
Like a curtain in a play lowering it faded away
Separating consciousness from Heavens stage
Slowly drifting back to the earthly realm of life
Trying to absorb what had seen with closed eyes
The Tree of Life whose fruit imparts eternal life
Was the one fruit by God to man was denied
By partaking of the fruit man became mortal
Entrance to Eternity became a closed portal
The Cross brought us mercy and grace from this fall
For Christ became the new Tree of life for us all
Partaking of the fruit is no longer forbidden
For He paved a way for us to Eternal Heaven

On a thin side between heaven and earth
The balance is broken by loneliness in doubts.

Our thoughts reflect who we are. What we believe in and what we aspire to be in that belief.
Thanks for the promise that we're no longer denied of the eternal gate becase of the cross bore by our Lord. A most inspiring hope. All we need to do is believe.
