BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH

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

Akeldama: tysm for stopping and reading. And thank you for your very thoughtful comment. I couldn't believe my eyes and wondered if it was my overactive imagination.

Good verse thank you that has shared.
On a thin side between heaven and earth
The balance is broken by loneliness in doubts.

Good for you for sharing you prophetic vision and beautifully described poem...God will use your gift of creativity to speak in to and through you and in sharing your vision you stepped into a new area ministry ...it can be mind blowing to have a vision a awesome privelage sometimes it's a personal message that will edify us personally and other times it is to share...we are vessels and we do not always get a revelation or hear how God has used the vision we share in another's life however rest assured the seed God has planted is sure to be watered :}

Thank you Steve. A vision? I'm not sure I'm worthy enough to have a vision. Some of friends said they thought it might be my artistic mind at work when resting! What artistic mind - I draw stick people! laugh

Thank you Happy. I'm not sure if it was a vision or what was going on - but it moved me.

So true.....Free agency was, and still is, one of the most integral elements of God's plan. He did not force the decisions upon the first, but rather created the conditions for said decisions to be made. We would simply not be here discussing this had that not happened.....love that your poems are always themed with these thoughts. ....Many of mine are also.....purple heart

Thank you Christian. We do seem to have a lot in common with our faith. Thanks for your friendship.

There was a book at a bank I looked through that had a solitary tree photographed for one whole year. Our best tree where I live is a catalpa tree, though I have never seen any catalpa worms on it.chicken

Thank you Redex for your compliment even though I know you don't believe in God. However, how else could the Universe and the space it is in come to be? Where did it come from? What caused it to have space and what is outside of the Universe? Who thought up how to operate it so that solar systems formed? Etc, Etc, Etc.

Our minds create wonders Kathy.

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.comfort

I'm afraid the sentiments of the poem don't strike any chord in me, princess, but, as a poem, that is pretty good. wine

Thank you Harbal. I realize not everyone agrees with my beliefs and I respect that. As the saying goes though: I would rather believe and be wrong - then NOT believe and be wrong. Hope you have a really good day. Take care.

Thank you Di - Happy Easter to you too!! I continue to do intensive therapy on my complete knee replacement - getting there slowly - but getting there - will take weeks if not months I hear.
