The Seventh Poem- Letter From Heaven

✉ Letter From Heaven✨

One day I got a letter from heaven,

It was the most iconic enclosure.

I was miraculously shaken

By its sparkling golden lustre.

I say you've never seen such a wrapping before,

It's very different from the ones I've seen before.

There it was, placed on the step of my door,

Looking enchanting and magnificent to its core.

I didn't think once before rushing to claim it,

Because I didn't want it to disappear in the blink of my eye;

Just how it had arrived there in a mysterious kit,

Without a name, or an address, or even a Hi.

I didn't know why, but it felt so precious

Before even opening it;

But I did know that I was curious

To absorb every little detail of it.

So I sat down on my wooden chair,

And uncovered it to find a note that read,

"This letter is for you from Heaven up there,

And I wanted it to reach you before you were dead."

"I've seen you in your best and in your worst,

Facing your fears and also getting engulfed in them.

I've seen your appetite and your quench to be the first,

And your wish to emerge the winner of the game."

"I know what you are seeking for,

But we both know it's not what you are chasing after;

It's something worth more than jewels, mansions, or an expensive car,

So I'm here to enlighten you with the truth most sought after."

"First of all know that you are rare,

Bestowed with grace, with loving kith and kin;

And second, that you are under my care

The most protective shield you could ever imagine."

"Keep your head high and see,

All your troubles will fade away;

Try to be the best you can be,

For you and yours, and the world every day."

"Seek truth and enlighten yourself

With principles that stay true till the end of the page.

Love, peace and empathy don't have to explain themselves

That they will brush away all the grey from the passage."

"Here, listen to me, intently and patiently,

You will never go wrong with this golden triad;

Once you commit to these three constantly,

You will forever be my denizen, my dear lad."

I saw the letter in my hands obliviate into golden dust,

Leaving me with faith and fuelled with strength.

I know I have a power that I can always trust,

That will help me throughout my life's wavelength.

Henceforth I believe that miracles do happen

During the most unexpected times;

They may come beautifully arranged for you to open,

To change your perceptions and drive you towards sparkles and smiles.
