 I did not know what was in store When my husband’s life was no more. Grief set in when he went away. All I wanted was for him to stay. Our love was deep; we were as one And when he left I was undone. Not knowing grief could hurt so bad; I didn’t know the depth of sad. Grief so hard it consumed my life; Full of pain, it slashed like a knife. One day I sat and as tears flowed, I cried out “Why did you have to go?” All I wanted was to be with him. I’d let go of life, this was not a whim! To the heavens I begged “Please, take
me”, And Azrael spoke: “Let it be”. In the blink of an eye I was
transported, By light and love I was fully supported. Walking in light I felt peace and bliss I took it all in, nothing would I miss. No veil of death; I came to a place; I had to stop for I saw his face! In the mighty arms of a higher power, I watched with love, no need to cower. I saw he was well, his body healed. All I needed to do was reach out and
yield. As I lifted my hand my intention was
known. A firm voice thundered, but with a
loving tone, “Not yet! Not yet, it is not your time!” In an instant I was back, stopped on a
dime! That’s when I met Azrael who walks next
to me, Healing my grief and setting me free. It’s an amazing gift Azrael did give; I’ve no fear of death and no fear to
live. Feeling less lonely and more self
renewal, Azrael the Archangel, to me is a jewel! This poem was inspired during the fresh period of grief after Jeff, my husband passed away. Azrael is the Archangel of Death. What many may not know is that Azrael not only comes to the dying to ease their transition, He also remains with the loved ones during their time of grieving. Azrael walked with me for many months easing my heartache,bringing comfort and gently encouraging me forward when grief seemed to overwhelm my life. Now, grief has transformed into joy with the knowing Jeff is where he is supposed to be - in the loving arms of his creator. Azrael gifted me with so much! I know Jeff continues to have a presence in my life. I occasionally see him and hear him; he is there should I call upon him. Through this experience with Azrael I released the fear of death. One of the biggest benefits this brought was the will to move forward without fear of living. This is a freeing of Self to be who I am. As I discover my Self, I see, live and speak my truth with joy! I am open to risk; the opportunities of growth. Life is GRAND! I'm not sure why I am posting this today. Perhaps someone out there needs it. It's almost comical how my grief seemed to come to a sudden halt; it was as though I flipped a light switch. In a flash, grief melted into the background; I felt a tremendous freedom, like an eagle soaring to the heavens! In it's place I am filled with joy and a curiosity for my new journey. I live in appreciation for the opportunity to spend time with Azrael - a gentle and loving Archangel! |
