once my heaven was
bright and lively and full of
possibilities

now it's dark and still...
i'm held in your warm embrace
for eternity

I just reread this and it comes off as terribly gloomy. Just to clarify, it's really about the difference in where I was a few years ago and where I am now.

Then, I thought of heaven, if there is one, as a place of adventure and activity and vibrant joy. Now, I hope, simply, to be held by My Beloved in blessed quiet--no hubbub, nothing to interrupt our peace.

I can't really express the feeling adequately, but it's beautiful to me.
