In a breath
It's higher up...
Up in the clouds, where I look.
High in a secret world.
Above me... because...
it is where the tears land
and the souls play hand in hand.
Golden marble light yearns
and dances in its softest forms.
A light so warm it cannot burn.
Where forgiveness is equally earned
and love is free;
thoughts run clearly where they be
in steady streams
Where there is no more
hopelessness
And angels take notes
more beautifully than any found in
the miracle of difference
And demographics
become one pretence
One life together
in one breath lies forever...
