Is death the last sleep?
No, it is the last and final awakening. ~ Sir Walter Scott
Eternal Vision – J Sig Paulson
They know me not
who thinks that I am
only flesh and blood –
a transient dweller
on the fragile spaceship earth
that gave me birth.
For I am spirit
eternal, indestructible, not confined to space or time
and when my sojourn here is through
my roles fulfilled, my assignments done
I will lay aside this space suit called my body
and move on to other mansions, roles, assignments,
in our fathers house of eternal life.
So dry your tears
Weep not overmuch for me – or for yourself.
Set me free
in the love that holds us all
and makes us one eternally!
Our paths will cross again
Our minds and hearts will touch
Our souls will shout with joy and laughter
As we recall
the lives we’ve lived
the worlds we’ve seen
the ways we’ve trod
to find ourselves – at last –
In God.
