Do you believe in life after death?


 Foundation.

Do you believe in life after death?

Title:
The Rainbow Bridge 

(A lone voice whispers)

In a deep dream
I saw an old wooden bridge

A bridge of green and blue

Filled with yellow flowers and red roses

At the front of a gigantic crowd of watching blinking eyes

Stood a regal old lady

Blue eyes 
Crow black hair 
Dressed in purple with a white shawl

She seemed quite confident and approached

You may not cross here yet

She spoke 
Within my mind

These lands are for those who never forget true love

Us 
The ancestors of all of mankind

This is The Rainbow Bridge 

And over those ivy mountains are the golden cities

Filled with now happy reunited souls and their all their sidekicks

Brothers and sisters
Fathers 
Mother's and so many others in between 

Eternal watchers
Who you now see
Before you

Called
The Bellagio

A sea of eyes
Filled with love 

Who'll follow you 
Wherever you go

Waiting patiently 
In this rain or snow

For their beloved to eventually show

Above you
If you look

Is a golden mirror 

So we can see to the other side

To know when our beloved time too comes

To prepare to be reunited
When our true love

Say their final goodbyes to the mortal world

For true love never dies
Only fluctuates

As one walks 
Through a new gate

To be at peace
No pain

No anxiety 

Just happy to see our soulmates

As one crosses The Rainbow Bridge

For there is no time
And no such concept of being late

Now go
Astral traveler

And recount our meeting and greetings from me and The Bellagio

And with a low pearly sound of laughter 

She turned and walked back into the sea of smiling eyes 

Of the Great Hereafter 

Who all blinked in unison
Seemingly smiling
And all disappeared

As the dream started to fade

She appeared once more
Briefly 
In the trailing smoke

And whispered before I could answer
She spoke

It is I 
Lucinda 

Your mother 
Take care 
You have so much more to give

Like so many good people who still live

I, alongside so many others, will always patiently wait

So take your time and slow down 

Don't rush to cross our gate

And as I woke and wrote
In my dream journal

The beloved memories of The Rainbow Bridge returned

Making me smile
That she was waiting

Now at peace and in no more pain

Amongst her happy brothers and sisters

Beyond The Rainbow Bridge

Patiently waiting 
In the snow and ethereal rain
