One Step Above

Most think they live in a physical kingdom;
at least until an appointed time;
sent to live out their lifetime in freedom;
oblivious to the divine.

Physicality is merely an illusion of light;
very much akin to a dream;
where thoughts transitioned from night;
and consciousness, heard and seen.

Most think of dreams as mental illusions;
very much like a children’s story;
until death yields reality’s conclusions;
and life is the kingdom of glory.

All lives are lived; both above and below;
above; the eternal kingdom of thought;
the lower world is where we reap what we sow;
realizing what evil has brought.

Everything, in life, has purpose and reason;
tho it’s purpose is not ours to know;
evil and hate abide; but, for only a season;
rain forces the flowers to grow.

Evil and pride are each a temporary state;
hate has no residence above;
earth is the illusion; that all might relate;
death is the voyage of love.

Although we now live in the world below;
death takes us to a kingdom of love;
the present world’s sorrows, made us grow;
and death takes us one step above.
