The pretender, the light and the heavens.

This is a poem about many things. It is a poem of God's kindness. A poem of temptation. A description of heaven, in poetic form, of course. And it is also a poem of my faith- Christianity.

I look to my left,

I see an Angel,

I look to my right,

And I'm startled by fright,

There is no devil,

No trace of his existence,

I look to my left again,

She is showing resistance.

"If you tell me his whereabouts, I'll pay you 1,000 yen",

But Angel said "Why the hell would I do that?! If you round that up, it is only $10",

I was startled by this,

That word is not in my Angel's vocab,

Then I remembered those words,

Those words in the Bible,

'Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to those who will inherit salvation?',

Surely a ministering spirit wouldn't use such language,

It is surely hypocrisy!

"You pretender! You are not Angel!",

And assuredly I am correct,

Angel has been slain,

Slain by my foolish acts,

Acts led by temptation,

And so, his true form is revealed.

I erupt in flames,

My soul screaming inside,

I bow my head and look to Him to confide.

"Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts." 

"I give my heart to You! Save me! Save me! I will sin no more!", I scream through the pain,

The fire is extinguished by the Living Water,

My soul is at peace,

I open my eyes,

Look up to the skies,

I see Jesus sitting at the right hand of God,

Behind him is a big house,

One open to all,

And the light,

Oh, the light!

His light astounds the very core of my being,

And I know that I am in heaven,

And heaven I will be,

For the rest of eternity.
