Heaven is Earned 


Heaven Gained a New Angel by Ieris-Azer

We’re all looking for heaven

Looking for answers inside

Count to ten or eleven

Only then abide.

Journeys are long wrought with pain

Long perilous rocky climbs

Sometimes feeling all in vain

We must walk our lines.

Sadness and beauty fill our lives

The contrast can’t be ignored

Journey filled with sharpened knives

Or even a sword.

The hardest lessons are learned

Walk against the stiffest breeze 

All the while the world still turned

See flowers and trees.

For later on, we look back 

Seeing how far we have come

Our accomplishments all stacked

And we know we’ve won…

Fire Journey

Standing against a fierce gale

A weighted pack upon my back

Taking on my largest fail

And using it to get on track

One step then two

Forward I move

My destination looms

As I get into my groove

Further, now I slowly progress

Pebbles and stones sting my face

Stepping into a new life was for the best

Your happiness will never go to waste

The steepness of this whistling hill

Is now slowly abating

Continuing the journey still

For a great future that’s waiting

The wind whips a final fury

As I reach the top of the hill

The final vertical awaits among the jury

As I reached the summit by my sheer will

I looked down from the top

And I can’t believe how far it goes

This phase, my evolution is at a stop

And I take stock of my previous woes

Who I am and who I’ll be

Was determined by this trek

The world will have to wait and see

My greatness versus the previous spec

Jubilation fills my heart

As I celebrate on this ridge

New exciting adventures will start

Now that I’ve crossed this shaky bridge

This is the end of the the beginning

Applying the lessons I’ve learned

This former loser now is winning

A life of happiness I have earned.
