The Door Stayed Open

Is heaven real ? If so why are ghosts here on earth ?

The Door Stayed Open

I stood beside a silent room,

Where clocks had lost their need to speak,

A gentle calm moved through the air,

And wrapped itself around the weak.

No shadow carried fear that day,

No weight remained upon the chest,

The sorrow left by earthly years,

Was laid to sleep and put to rest.

I felt familiar voices near,

lips were still and eyes were closed,

A love unchanged by passing time,

Within that quiet place arose.

The walls of grief began to fade,

Like rain that leaves a window clear,

And every heart once torn apart,

Found reasons not to live in fear.

No grand display of gold appeared,

No throne beyond a distant sky,

Just peace that settled deep within,

And answered every question why.

The ones we miss are never gone,

They walk beyond what eyes can see,

Their memory is more than thought,

Their spirit lives completely free.

Each goodbye spoken here on earth,

Becomes a promise held above,

A thread no distance ever breaks,

Still fastened tightly through our love.

The door stayed open in my mind,

it showed a truth so strong and kind,

That life continues past the grave,

Leaving no precious soul behind.
