Quicksand in Heaven

- jon

Standing still, my Feet
rested in the sand
The weight of my body
pulls me down,
Sinking me as the
hours turn and the sun moves above
I must shift, I must
try to stir
I don’t want to sink;
I want to hold your hand

The landscape captivates
my sight
Its magnificent
pallid sand covers the shore
The sky, the ocean,
grandly cerulean
The foliage dances
and moves with the breeze
I marvel at this
majestic spectacle

There you are
standing at the backdrop
Ever so beautiful, ever
so adorable, wearing that white gown
A face of an angel is
what I see
You exude love and
nurture¸ you make me calm
Please let me embrace
you one last time

You smile, you seem
very happy
I can see you’re
content and pleased
You love this place;
It gives you peace
and serenity
Take me with you; let
me have what you have

I cannot move, I am
frozen in this searing place
I want to reach you,
you’re just so near
Why can’t you see me?
Why can’t you take a glance?
Please help me stop
the sinking
Help me; I need you
to help me

Do not go! Do not
leave!
Its okay, let me just
look
If I can’t hold you,
I am fine looking at you
Don’t disappear at my
sight,
Don’t make me sad

I don’t want to sink
I don’t want to wake
up
I want to be in that
place where you are
I want to spend
eternity with you there
Lord, take me where
she is now…
