Reaching For Heaven

I was reaching for Heaven, because I knew in my spirit that I had another home.
Different from the one that calls my name so sweetly through the ocean waves, through the whispering grass, through the rain that cares little about time.

My soul could not be still, I suffered with a restlessness that only some seem to know.
I felt I had come close sometimes, but yet I could tell I was still lost at sea,
I tried to sleep, and make merry so as to not feel the emptiness of my heart.

No matter how I tried, I had to keep searching for the treasure that I knew had given birth somewhere in the stars. 
Then one day when I thought the road had ended, I was pointed to a bright sun, just down the way
Weary from my travels, and my disappointments, excited, yet so afraid I'd find another mirage I walked with caution. 
I felt my spirit begin to tremble as I felt the brilliant light, was pierced by the joy, immersed in the love, my breath seem to leave me as I wandered into this new land.  Strangely it  looked and felt familiar.   

There were so many other spirits that seem to know me too.  We all had been together from the beginning, so very long ago, and everyone was waiting for me to return.  It was a long and arduous journey but eventually the music only I seem to hear, or so I thought, led me here.  Now my spirit flies, dances and basks in all the goodness....for  the Kingdom of God is filled with a glory that is magical, divine, and fulfills like nothing else can.   A beautiful buffet, the Kings and Queens ball,  in a castle made of angel dust just for me, and anyone else who cares to come and dine with the very best.
