Into the Heavens

by Michele

I'm standing on the mountain tops
Looking through the horizons of night's earth
Such heights and depths of heartaches
Scream out for understanding and compassion

Wanting to surrender into the impenetrable darkness
Praying for visions and dreams to speak to me
And guide my tormented soul

Feeling alone to struggle with the sufferings of the flesh
I feel natural human emotions, sympathies and need for understanding
Yearning to be embraced by them all

I look up to the heavens with outstretched arms
And see the shadows of reality
There is no darkness—only light
The light that reflects off the castles made of gold in heaven.

I feel the simple unconditional devotion that draws me near
The heavens of pure and utter beauty
I am compelled by the power of His holiness
And surrender to the love of God
As the spirit bears witness unto my soul
The promise that we will be together again.
