oil painting by~ John William Waterhouse
Standing in solitude on a silent beach, facing the brilliant sun, gleaming on its quiet waves.
Sends a warmth through my body and fills my soul with radiance,pureness, and harmony.
Closing my eyes, gazing at the sunbeams that descend from heaven.
Peace be with me, I think. I dream. I wish, like a shooting star twinkling on a beautiful summer's night.
Opening my arms as though welcoming a heavenly angel, I find comfort in the warmth and fantasy
of a dream,
dreaming of the serenity of His arms, being comforted in tranquility.
Never in my life have I ever felt such peace and warmth, feeling it last for a few seconds in reverie,
Wishing it last forever.
~verse by KC_Sunshine (Naomi Cherow)~
In memory only.
Could this be only an illusion?
When people die they are carried by the moon up to the land of heaven and live in the eternal hunting grounds.
We can see their windows from the earth, as the stars but beyond this,we know very little of the ways of the dead.
~Ikinlink, Eskimo Elder
