Pearl Gates

By J Ann Crowder

Whilst traveling to gates adorned with pearls shining fair—beyond is heaven
 
I’d like to be greeted by faces kind and glowing in an abundance of purity
 
I’d like to hear enchanting choirs sing in his kingdom, greeting me with soft songs of ashen wings
 
I’d like to feel prints in his hands, feet, and side—knowing he died for me
 
I’d like to know of his transforming love so bounteous
 
I’d still wonder within, was I worthy to be standing there? Embracing arms of those I loved, who passed before me
 
As I fall into his grace, heavy with tears ever joyous, I’d long for felicity's musings to rise within
 
Felicity would bloom as rosy plushes kissed by new rain while she grew on a joviality of souls
 
Alas, taken home to topaz mountains and crystal shores forged by fire—a gleaming heaven and sea of black tides, bejeweled by rarest gems of purity
 
May I enter at feet and bode of all my peaceful whims nestled with pleasant angels smiling kindly and gracious
 
May I be welcome and worthy of a prize no grander
 
May my soul forge through heat shaping precious stone, transfiguring line upon line as ladder rungs reach skyward—a home to heavenly palaces
 
Thus, precepts are wrought and truth unfolds, living emboldened by eyes single to his glory
 
Now, expanding faith as seeds rooted in hearts yeilding decadent tastes
 
Simply, dreaming deep upon slumbering skies and grasping truth of dawns
 
For God’s majesty is in moons and stars, and awakens with his son’s glory resting upon earth
 
'Tis a glory and sacrifice born on love’s wings—an unconditional charity
