Outside the Gates of Heaven

Neil Bridgens 1961 (Bergvliet)

Free verse
Outside The Gates of Heaven

Will there be a waiting party?
for me outside the gates of heaven?
In a stae of flux.
Who shall find me, if at all?
Thye key keeper at the door?
Will he know my purpose?
Servant or imposter?
How long will you wait, if at all?
Whichever I am deemed to be,
I won't be your fatality.
