2/8/16

Still here but J. I C

It is with great sadness that I announce
That one day,
Probably far 
Yet,
Possibly closer than you may
Wish,

I will die.

Perhaps before
or after
You.

And I will leave some One 
Or some More to mourn
My memories
And possible regrets:
Of
Never having fully known my heart;
Never having fully let me know yours;
Never having said it all
Or perhaps having said too much of it all.

Never anticipating
Never contemplating
I could leave
Forever.

Yet
It is with the same amount of joy
That angels will rejoice
That I have come to join the saints and the souls
Saved by My Father
Through His Son.

By name I may not know
But by heart and by lineage
We will recognize
One another.
Brothers.
Sisters.
Alike.

It is with great peace I leave
Having been allowed to
Simply
Merge my days with yours.

It is with elation,
I finally approach the Throne,
No longer pleading,
But rightfully standing
In the place He prepared for me.

It is with faith
That I leave you
Knowing I will see you
And be with you
Again.
Stripped off of these names and vanities!
Stripped off of this Pain, Anxiety and Doubt!
Stripped off of this armour!
(For I would have overcome
The king of this world)
Stripped from our own humanity
Yet clothed only in His glory.

It is by love I lived
And now,
It is for love,
I leave.

Peace be with you,

Till and beyond our next meeting.
