You Must Believe by *leopardivory:iconleopardivory:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Spiritual > Open




The blinding light fades;
my feet touch the ground.
Mountains grace the distance;
an ethereal presence reigns.
I want to walk nearer to them;
each step is like walking on blades.

Why can’t I walk without this hurting?
I think to myself.
A voice immediately replies;
“You must believe.”
The pain was near unbearable;
yet I kept walking on.

A river is soon winding;
glistening like diamonds.
Looking so refreshing,
I want to dip my feet in.
My attempt is quickly halted;
the water is like broken glass.

Why can’t I walk without this hurting?
I think to myself again.
A voice immediately replies;
“You must believe.”
The pain was near unbearable still;
yet I kept walking on.

Each step was more intense,
more agonizing than the next.
I finally surrender and fall,
crashing into the solidity.
Yet a being is hovering over,
reaching a hand down to me.

“You must believe,”
he says once more to me.
“I do believe,”
I reply, taking his hand.
The grass suddenly became soft,
just like a blanket of the purest silk.

The angel smiles warmly to me,
leading me towards the mountains.
I hold his hand and follow along,
each step more beautiful than before.

I am honestly unsure of where these words came from.. but to me I think it is probably the poem I am most proud of here in my gallery on DA. Not because it is the best, no; it most likely isn't. But because of its depth and what meaning it holds for me. This is a very spiritual piece, and if you can't figure it out from reading it.. this is about the entrance to heaven. Well, my poetical interpretation. I would be glad to tell you the meaning of this poem to me entirely, but I hope the meaning will be something beautiful for each one of you individually and that you take out of it what you need.

The preview image was made by the wonderful *pixeltool and I am using it with his permission. Please go see his gallery for more beautiful art pieces such as this.

In closing, I dedicate this poem to the passing of a very dear friend to me here on DA.. ~subformulate. He was such a caring man and did whatever it took to make you smile. His comments were always of praise and so uplifting, this community will not be the same without him. I'm just glad I got the opportunity to meet him and have him as a friend. Don't cause too much trouble in heaven, Adam! Until we meet again. <3

This shade of ordinary burns my eyes
simplicity, i despise
in simplicity i'm disguised.

Is Imagination dependent upon Experience, or is Experience influenced by the Imagination?

This is the most gorgeous.. most touching.. wow.. I can't even think of anything to say! But it is beautiful. I would imagine heaven this way, and this poem reminds me of strength, of never breaking down.. no matter how much pain there is.. and then finally stepping into Heaven, and being relieved, and happy.. :+favlove:
