A Cage of Light

 A Cage Of Light

As I sit here in my own state worrisome affairs. The plane headed towards a familiar destination. The spirit, even in such troubling times, allows one a glimpse of carefree thinking.Forms of orange, soft, light surrounds my plane. Leaving its golden glow about the clouds and air. I'm sure my father will be there.

I think over his life pondering images of a Once, young man and the flesh and bones not yet feeling the struggles of old age, his thoughts looking towards the future, his feet not yet set uponthe road to his own fate.

Remembering historical Journeys upon sea and ice which brought about the adventuring andEver wonderment in his children's eyes. As he sat me on his lap showing my sister and meimages of travels beyond our own mental horizon.

Now humble spirit ride upon Bright skies and skim golden, creeks and lakes of your childhood.God, giving him rest in sacred gardens. Nimble, sprite with that gleam in his eye and return ofLimber form and unshakable hands... my father is there.

No longer Caged by afflictions and stammering speech, his voice now free and light doth bringforth amorous joyful song. Now having shed that mortal, frail cocoon, no longer held back bythe constraints of this world. His spirit now free and his light that once was a bound cage,releases now, such a rare and graceful bird. His guided, silvered, feathers stretched out and,flexed, Poised, preparing for first flight. A guided pathway of light, leading to the stars an infinite heaven.

Let us act now as final as stewards giving heartfelt thanks and bidding joyful farewell. For not onea bit of earth or shallow tomb shall cage our true given divinity that we, ourselves will eventuallyset our own course upon. That journey beyond a sea of stars.... farewell thou beautiful soft light. The ring of brotherhood now removed from your hand and God's anointment, andblessings, weaves filigree-like design of ancethus leaves in pure light about your head ...The Holy one, clothes you with the promise of forgiveness shedding the burden of sin and want and need.

Sweet spirit watching over your offspring.  Peering upon the world, separated by a thin veil ofgolden, Amber eeprvesence that divides these two worlds of Heaven and Earth. May God keepyou and bring you peace my sweet loving father. For, this cage has truly released this bird oflight and you're are free once more. Joined and reunited with those shimmering familiar formsthat have journeyed before us. Rest well
