Newly Joined

By Daisy Dai

I’ve arrived
That space we’ve all heard about
That place called heaven

It’s colder than I expected
I guess clouds really are full of cool rain

I glide through the sleek air
The dew dripping on my new digs

Skin no longer skin
Blood no longer coursing my veins
I’ve become sparkly.

Glitter glistens gladly
Full of glee I step inside
The gates that glow so sweetly

Nerves suddenly hit my network
Nervously I look through the nests

Hopefully hunting for you
Because without you heaven
Would never be heavenly

Then, like magic, you materalize, we embrace.
Newly joined, at last, for eternity.
