He saw my soul

[Artemis]

He saw my soul ~

At last the feathers of white fall as I climb
The porcelain smooth steps that lead to bliss.
How long has my mind craved for this
Oh for time, so much slow time!

The gates are bejewelled and vast
My fingers stroke heaven’s door.
Relieved tears fall as diamonds on the floor
As a homecoming shadow is neatly cast.

A voice, ‘Why should I let you in? Pray tell.’
My eyes grow dim at such a question.
Weary expression caught in my own reflection,
He looks into my soul and knows already I’ve been to Hell

The impact of the last line made me catch my breath. Very powerful writing sweetheart. I felt every word. Beautifully done. hug* Lady B

Lady B is so right the closing line gives the poem an original and unique impact. For me that’s the attraction of poetry, gorgeous Kerry, Exalt
