[Psalm 115:17-18; Luke 16:22; ; Philippians 1:23;

1 Corinthians 15:55; Luke 23:43; John 16:23;

Isaiah 38; 2 Timothy 4:8, 18]

Although I am not terrified by death,

I do fear awkwardness at my last breath

(that is, a sort of "test anxiety,"

a present glitch in my past history).

I was a clumsy kid; same as adult---

made nervous at last minutes to a fault).

Some months ago, during a morning dream,

an angel, clad in white---a golden gleam

around him, said:   "I want to comfort you,"

he said.  "In church, ever move from one pew

"into another for a better view?"

I nodded; he spoke on:  "Your death will seem

"no more than that---a change made easily.

"Nor will you have to face the change alone---

"or nor tremble at it as some dread Unknown.

"At least two angels will accompany

"you right into the promised Paradise.

"Protecting you from every stinging fear,

"they will whisper to you words of good cheer.

"No shock will shake you; no untold surprise

"will slam against the moment's delectation.

This is one of the aspects of Salvation."

Thus he disposed of each warped expectation

I had of clumsiness and hesitation;

and rid me of fearful anticipation.

Starward
