Betty Edith Neill

when all the world drifts by like demonic dancers on a stage

and in their pauses the sound of a great sea pounding.

Finally, a single voice rises, ancient password call

as we step beyond the rage of storms into peace.

My answer will be to close my simple eyes and dream

while earth slips silently away like the ghost it is.

My revelation will grow at last with light

where all the love I wished in life awaits.

There’ll be no more descriptions while thinking sleeps.

Joy only will fill my ever shrinking void.

Then we’ll be just heaven’s pure love together.
