Measure of Fragrance

In our travels across the web, we call life

Have you ever marveled at what lies within?

I have often wondered about the effects of love
As to what kind of spark, will it take?

To ignite the flames of desires
Between the rapture of two lovers hearts

As we merge into a single lane, upon the edge of time
Heading towards the end, to a judgment we must face

The thoughts of how we came to be
Begins to stir in me, as I asked myself

Could it be when the fires of love begin to grow?
It leaves a measure of fragrance, of what is yet to come

Thus bringing magic to our inner core
Especially when you are near, and your presence is felt

The closest of your scent, brings contentment to my soul
While the thoughts of what is yet to be

Lies deeply entrenched in each caress
As we dance to the brink of time

Towards the destiny, we call romance
And like two lovers, who share one heart

The sands of time, will forever flow

Wings of Angels

I can't remember when
I can't remember how

It seems I'm in a daze
So strange the sights I see

My mind unable to explain
All the wonders before my eyes

So I forge ahead, trying to comprehend
What lies in front of me

Searching for a soul
To tell me where I am

I look around, not even sounds
To make me feel at home

If only I could remember
Of how I got to here

As I look to find my way
It seems I'm in a cloud

Nothing but the sky
To the right and left of me

I begin to hear some noise
Just to the side of me

As I get a little closer
The sounds become familiar

For the chirping of many birds
Has set my mind at ease

Now my fears have been subdued
For I know I'm not alone

So I walk a little faster
Towards the clamor, I hear so clear

Now I look for something else
Besides the birds which follow me

Still not sure just where I am
Now I hear the flap of wings

Too strong to be just birds
The noise lies between the mists

As I strain to get a better view
It starts to dawn on me

The wings of Angels, is what I hear
They lie within the clouds

As the road begins to narrow
While turning to a golden hue

Now I start to remember
Of lying on a wrinkled bed

Not even able to move
The pain too much to bear

So I pray with all my heart
For God to take my soul

To release me from the hurt
Which has been a part of me

The last thing I recall
Was calling Jesus' name

Asking for his forgiveness
For all the sins I've made

Now I know just where I am
And found the reason why

My time has run its course
I suffer no more pain

Even the clouds have left
And a golden gate appears

Which opens wide for me
And God is on the other side

With his Son, who welcomes me
They give a smile my way

As we walk into their palace
To a room, reserved for me

As I turn around to thank them
Jesus begins to speak

He says dear son, been waiting on you
So glad you finally came

For I gave my life, so you could be
Here in my Father's home

Then the Father turns to me
And he looks me in the eye

And says what a son has I
So proud he's here with me

For he gave his earthly life
To those who truly believe

And now enjoy your stay
My son has paid the price

For all who believe in him
And the eternal peace he brings

In my kingdom, which will be your home
For the rest of eternity
