Analysis of Heaven's Gates



Heaven's Gates
Come with me my love and see what we have done
We did not win a race; instead, life was full and fun.
Look down through the gates and see our two grandsons.
For what we left on earth we now, know that we have won.

Therefore, come with me my precious love as I missed you very much.
It is so nice to be with you my blushing girl and feel your loving touch.
Our garden is coloured in yellow roses blooming for you my sweet.
The soil is pure as you my love and the roots are strong and run deep.

I missed you so much my love and heaven has given us another chance.
Together we shall spend a never-ending eternity hold hands and dance.
Then we will sail the ashen clouds, you, my beautiful bride by my side.
From heaven's gate to the shores of sky, we will be blessed on our ride.

Norman Wilson

IntroductionForgotten are the times the tick of a clock once chimed sobering sounds that caressed my hearts nightly dreams. As I awaken to the touch of light that burns upon a candles wick flickering my words for all to see. This drives my thoughts through the darkest of nights of loneliness that renders my quill upon parchment with ink that dances to minds and souls.Now I hear the screeching of my heart when the blue horizon covers the orb of emptiness.Within the shelter of my mind with little, purpose other than my words that keep me sane. These are my new poems I have written in the quiet of my night, forever wished away in a writer’s pain. As I strive to write that perfect poem that, my soul desperately seeks. Then and only then can my words rest upon a sleep. more…
