Finding Heaven

My footsteps echo beneath me
I walk with a certain tenderness about me,
Placing each foot carefully in its place
Now, I have never been so far away from home.

My clothes of the purest white you could ever imagine,
My hair flows like a river beside my chest.
Light-headed and dazed I continue to follow this path,
Though it is unclear, I seem to know my way.

Soft white skin, with a transparent tint to it
I look down to my arm, as if not my own,
I touch it so gently, As if it were so tender
The velvet that has become me starts to fall away

I take no note of that, as my skin falls to the floor in shreds
An aura of white and gold is left behind.
I knew my bones were long gone before that.
A shimmering shadow of me blinks into the rays of light

They fall across what is now my body,
And the light becomes one with me
The light has now subsided, and my body is gone
Small specks of light sway slowly through the air.
