The curtain draws to a close

The curtain draws to a close

to mark the birth
snow white flags fly at half mast behind the flickering light
waves of figures clad in white garbs give salutation
its unbelievable!
yet we believe, for the Lord told us so
we know this much, but our knees are wobbly
God’s teachings came to pass in the domain that is life
heavens’ holy hearts embrace one of our own
eerily and solemn our sorrows soar
to higher heavens
the living are left lonely
whirlwind of after life takes off before our eyes
holy heavens closes the gulf before life and death
dream configure a silhouette of one of our own
visited upon in his prime by the hands of God
bright lights shine on the pathway to heaven
human existence is at the mercy of heavens
blaring horns play soft harmonious music
melting wax cast a figure a distance away…
far away in the high moon where the prayer is different
noble men and women roll red carpets of eternal life
enchanting spirits form guards of honour
pillars of Jerusalem mirror a life lived to the fullest
heavens we praise!
we kneel before you, not matter our pains
body of after life, body of departed lurks far away
a kaleidoscope of life disappears before our eyes
a galaxy of stars point to a farewell for one of our own
silence descends in the lobby of the dense sky
earth shattering thunder whisper silently
heaven gates burst open behind soft smooth voices
old chapters come to an end to give life to new ones
column of clouds hum a song in silence
heavens orchestra plays the hallelujah choruses
saints graciously welcome the new enthrone
footprints of the chosen is printed on the courtyard of heaven
glory to thy Lord!
candle lights create a glorious altar …
angels stand in attention and rejoice on their gains
heavenly oil drips on the foreheads of the departed
gong of bells honour one of our own
a boom voice read from the scroll
“whenever God has given you a mission
He expects you to accomplish it
whenever the mission is accomplished.
God extends His hands and call you to his throne”
Lord we know that much,
there comes a time when we will also join your world
and be together with our loved ones
