My Heavenly Visit

colors that defy description

scents no nose ever smelled

creatures of wings and light
absorb the mind
and befuddle my sight.

pearls and gold are common
diamonds and crystal too.
joy fills the air
people from every nation
dancing, singing everywhere.

most amazing to my ears
we all spoke a common tongue
and communicated easily.
peace and love were pervasive.
this perfection was clear to see.

angels served us dinner
but it was not meat we ate.
the taste, most peculiar, was better!
whatever God provided
had a far more amazing flavor.

oh, i nearly forgot to tell you
we all have our own mansions there!
they were each hand-crafted by the Lord.
if you could see yours, you'd say
that was something you couldn't afford.

but it's a free gift, without price!
you can have your family and friends over
any time you want.
there's no need to grill, dine
or pick up the check at a restaurant.

everything you'll ever want is provided.
but i've saved the best for last.
you're perfected there as well!
how do i know, you ask?
if that weren't so....you'd be in hell.
