The Journey of Prayer and Devotion
Poetry by Gill Schwartz
DEAR ONES
Let us awake, Oh loves,
to the one Dream we have
always known is true:
That our pain is past.
All that lingers still,
in the pulsing of our nerves,
is a memory of suffering
that haunts this ecstasy.
For we have lived before,
and been judged,
and found deserving
of this Heaven
we now inhabit.
Sela
