The Journey Home
Into the depths of a luminescent sky
Her lonely spirit floated on a never-ending sigh
The earth shrank below to a shimmering dream
A river of tears transformed to a delicate, meandering stream
Faster now she glides on a golden ray of light
Angels await her coming, their arms are opened wide
Deep inside her soul plays a long forgotten song
The melody is sad, but she knows she’s going home.
The suffering and sadness, all the pain she knew
Turn into a rainbow of multicolored hues
Her hell is just a memory, and it too now dissolves
Her heart explodes with joy, there’s nothing left but love!

Turn into a rainbow of multicolored hues

Her heart explodes with joy, there’s nothing left but love!

Thank you. This piece has quite the history. The 1st stanza was something I came up with to include in a screenplay I was writing. (Never heard back from Sandra Bullock on that - big surprise! ;)
I added the rest of it in response to hearing about a young lady who committed suicide. Supposedly. That has since been thrown into doubt, but it was a reminder that people aren't always what they seem online.
