Heaven

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Heaven is a state of mind
it’s for believing
not just achieving
as if the whole of your life
was a calculated guess

Heaven is between the lines
it’s understanding
not just demanding
for the whole of your life
is far beyond mere words

Heaven is here and now
it’s in the waking
not just partaking
’cause the whole of your life
is instantaneously gone

Sometimes…

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

The shell of me
sometimes
Gets the best of me
sometimes
There’s nothing past to see
sometimes
I forget

The rest of me
sometimes
Sits very quietly
sometimes
Awaiting patiently
sometimes
I remember

A Glimpse

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

As I closed my eyes to sleep
I saw an image of myself
Standing at the seashore
Arms outstretched
To greet the wind
That was strong and forceful
But invisible as always

Though my eyes were closed
I could see and feel
The setting sun flicker
A dance of sparkle and light
From a million, million waves

I don’t know if it was the future
Or a fantasy
A premonition
Or a dream
But in that moment
It was now

And that’s all it means
