If you think about it:
Today, is yesterday's tomorrow and tomorrow, today will be yesterday. So, we are really living in a yesterday, a today, and a tomorrow.
Hooray! I'm a poet.
Here is something I wrote short while ago.
Her smile is big. Her teeth shine as brilliant white in the celestial glow. Her radiance comes from the joy she feels, a joy so complete and overwhelming, it cannot compare to anything she has ever felt before. Though she wears no makeup, her cheeks glows as though kissed by the loveliest pink rose.
The Princess.
While she awaits her knight, knowing he is soon to come riding on his white horse, she wears her white gown and skips merrily. The dress is the purest most beautiful white, in representation of the new cleanliness of her heart. White petals fall lightly to the ground from the wreath on her head as she dances about. She is unable to contain her happiness, her bare feet trip over each other during her childlike celebration.
She wears her hair loose in long ringlets down her back like she did when she was a little girl. In her hands, she carries a bouquet of white dandelions, her favorite, but they are not separated by the wind, but remain connected as if in a dream. But this is no dream, she knows it cannot be. This is more rare and perfect and beautiful than any dream she's ever had.
She twirls in circles, lifting her hands above her head, delighting, rejoicing in the glorious light. While turning, she gets her first glimpse of him. He is quietly ascending the hill, strong and sure-footed. One look into his all-seeing eyes and she knows it's him
The Prince (Jesus)
He is the one she's been waiting for. The passion of her heart. She sees him and knows the time has come; tears of unsurpassed joy well in her eyes. She has waited so long to see his face. She runs to him, a wild undignified canter.
He sees her and laughs; he can't help but beam at her sheer enthusiasm and excitement. He is so glad she is his princess; he so delights in her. With his eyes, he takes in her human form and all her physical imperfections, but all his heart sees is beauty.
He takes her hand gently, and together they walk through the garden. Neither needs to speak, he knows exactly what she is thinking, and she knows he loves her. This is all she ever need know. They gaze contentedly at the blooming flowers and magnificent trees, and listen to the whistling birds. Both he and she have yet to stop smiling. He kisses her on the cheek; it is a perfect, holy kiss. This is a kiss not of worldly love, but of pure, spiritual love.
He leads her out of the garden gate and down the lane. It is time for the ceremony. All the angels are there, they have been awaiting the prince and princess. They have become the bridegroom and bride.
The Wedding
It is the most exciting, glorious celebration ever. There has never been a more perfect, happy wedding. The best part is that the Father is there. It has been his greatest desire to complete the joy of his daughter. He is beyond thrilled to see his princess smile and laugh as she dances with her life's love. She is finally with them, the Son and the Father. She has waited for so long! Together, the prince and princess blow on the bundle of dandelions, scattering the white seeds, getting some in their hair.
The Ascension
The Father embraces his princess in an affectionate, paternal hug. Then he sends the daughter off with her prince. The two go again into the garden, where he sends her flying high on the wooded swing. In the air, she laughs and sings joyously, thinking she may soon reach the clouds if she goes any higher. And then, she does. Together the prince and princess ascend into the sky.
Once there, she takes her place amongst all the singing, dancing, worshipping princesses. Now she knows she can live forever with the prince and the father. This is her beautiful eternity.

i like it a lot but i really don't know what words to say to describe it
umm okay I guess I have never thought of it like that at all. As a reader I think I understood most of it but as you being the writer I really do not understand every metaphor that was used. Can you simplify it all for me please so I know what you were thinking when you wrote it. On the other hand it is very lovely and the vigorous detail in this is very dynamistic. To me it had alot of flow and energy behind it. Very interesting- me being christ bride.
Marc,
Basically, this was written during a time when I was on a major spiritual high, I guess pretty much like I have been for like three months, if that's possible. I think it is. So, one of the things that keeps me remembering who I am is remembering whose I am. I belong to God. He is the King, therefore making me a Princess.
Being the Princess, and being the bride of Christ. What two things could be more beautiful?
Now since I have never been "in love", I don't really know how it's supposed to go, but I think my affection for my Savior allowed me to nail it down, at least a little bit.
This piece of writing I wrote solely for me. Sometimes I read it, because of the encouragement it brings to me. It's basically the vision I have in my mind, sometimes my daydream of how it will be when I go to Heaven. I dunno. It wasn't really meant to be poked, prodded, and analyzed to be understood. The point is that it's pretty straightforward and simple, I think anyway.
Thank you for taking the time to read.
No problem, I think it is cool that you think about things that I would never think about. I think thats cool.
