It is time. It is Time!
Step from the folds of earthen shade,
and enter Paradise sublime!
Arise, My Love, Arise!
Awake, Dear One, Awake!
Let fall your fleshly robe,
that holds you in Time’s weak embrace.
Enter the Light of Heaven’s Face.
Awake, Dear One, Awake!
No longer tarry here,
nor cling to things now past.
Run eagerly into My Arms
as Angels soothe with Heaven’s charms.
Be free of pain at last!
Arise, Awake and Sing
as in My Heart you Live!
Dance in the Presence of your King!
My open Arms are offering
the Home I now shall give.
Oh, blessed Precious One,
you are my Dearest Love.
No longer must you darkly see
through glass of Time’s dim misty lea.
Join Me in Heaven above!
Ring out Celestial Bells!
All Angels lift your Wings!
Welcome the Master’s Holy Bride
who reigns in Glory at His side,
the Chosen of the King!
"Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
in thy presence is fulness of joy;
at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
Psalms 16:11 KJV

Yep - I guess I liked it!
I enjoyed reading your article.
Your rhyme scheme changed after the 1st verse. But that's the only criticism I can find (and I really had to look for it!) Wonderful, wonderful work!
