Death Calling



Do you ever have days where you feel that death is calling you home to the Creator?
You can hear your ancestors calling you back into their arms.
Whispers of the angels letting you know that it is time
for you to come home.

Jolting up in the middle of the night feeling death nearby.
Did you let those you care about know that you love them?
That knowing them brought a brightness to your world.

Can you feel the pull to go home?
It is not death that you fear.
It is making sure you closed the loops of life.
Making sure your house is in order.
Before you go home to the Creator.

The time will come and I will cross the bridge greeted by those animals who have been in my life as well as family and friends.
Once across the bridge we shall sit together have a meal and drinks to welcome me back.

As I pass over don’t mourn me celebrate:
Our lives together.
Share our stories.
Laugh and love.
Know that I will always be watching over you.
Know that you will always be loved.

If you need me though I am not physically here  I will guide you from above
You will never be alone for I will always be with you
In your heart, soul & spirit.

I love you from the depths of my soul .
