[Seraphim]

-with a nod to Edgar Allen Poe-

Seraphim.

Of such radiant learning.

With thy celestial eyes burning--with an eternal fire of faith and discerning..

That surpasses all written learning known to me before.

As I stand there--gazing and beholding.

I am shown my life unfolding--in many a different holdings.

Much more than I ever had wanted to show before.

I sat down--swinging and swaying--hoping and praying that my sole goodness would be at it's core.

"Brother" he cried, as the Angel in tears stood embracing, with my heart racing-- much faster than it ever has raced before.

Embracing-- this feeble body completely unknown to him before.

The tears...pacing much faster than my heart racing.

Now a river.

All the scarlet sins I bore.

"I was a liar!" said I!

A deceit and a thief!

I've laid in darkness for so long...

I've played the part of the world's sheep.

---Suddenly, a bright figure had appeared---

And I...fell dead...at His feet.

When He spoke...my soul was restored.

"You had faith and believed"

"I had told you that you would be with me in Paradise"

"For now--forever--and forevermore"
