Somewhere in Heaven



We send our prayers

As extensions
of our consciousness

Ascending angels
delivering pure thoughts

As our spiritual essence
is weaned.

From the shells
Which enclose our souls,

drift freely beyond
This island of awareness,

this come and go
Partial truth
of semi sensual existence

This now and then
breathing moment,

Guided, in part,
by will

with uplifting thoughts
Coming in tidal rhythms

within the universal flow
Directed, back to us

as if messengers of love,
returning from an eternal journey

To a separate source arising,
in waves From depths within our hearts,

In pure thoughts
focused

somewhere beyond
The singularity of i, me

to the place where we

Let our spirits merge and condense
To a state of higher being

At an oasis where all good spirits pool
Where we may freely gather

to bathe together naked
as our humble souls illuminated

With a spark in the supreme intelligence
Of our offering a gift born an eternity ago

When the shadow of the first kiss
Between mother and child

gave us a moment
Of perfect bliss

and we,
in its reflection

Knew something new
had become

A part
of what we had to share

compassion.

By someone who cared

And as
our ancestral family grew

To include all
our lost brothers and sisters

Making its presence known
More in troubled times

by those of us
Although we, too had little

We chose to share
of our belief in one another

That we would someday
join hands and hearts

In our conscious stream
Within a loving heart

fulfill our forefather’s dream

As that first child,
receiving that mothers kiss...

And one soul
armed with a knowledge

Greater than a kill

Transformed a tribe into a nation

Where those of common sense
grew stronger In a heartbeat,

sharing a humanity
Abandoning the prevailing course

of practical insanity,
isolation, and division

All, for the spoils of the wars
Which have only served the weak minded

Believing they were strong,
taking ownership...

Rather than finding
a course to be united

For a cause
worthy to be shared

As untold numbers
of believers in the light

Of a loving common sense
of humanity

Pass by us,
as the stars at night in spirit flow

To let us gain our bearings
that we, may join them

To become a legion
of subdividing voices,

For such time, as this.
Now, when needed most

Someday coming together as ghosts
Of our common past remain, with us

having shown In so many ways,
what to do and not to do

An illustration, we can identify with
The greatest clarity in perspective,

Reflecting against the whole of creation
And our understanding of a just setting

Where all of us may observe and choose
Where, now we stand

and let those who
By the practice of their choices

Be judged by the same,

let us not forget Those
having made the ultimate sacrifice

In their lives. For a belief, in life
Like some distant star gave living proof

In an obscure version of truth

A way, whose reward
was only to be taken,

In an afterlife, by children
not theirs, alone

In a place where humanity was

To have grown up
and moved on like clouds

Carried on a sunny day by the wind

Almost as in the essence of
An "i had a dream" dream

Transported to a better place

For our bodies and our minds
to rest awhile

And celebrate
each stage of our rise

To a more patient, understanding
of our will

becoming more aligned
to the source of happy endings

and so, we sing.

In the natural heartbeat
we all share.

A song within our hearts
Delivered, to us in a gentle spring

Which has travelled from afar
Here, to this place

which now we are contemplating
Navigation through the stars

We continue our lives
amidst this troubled world

Through the mists
somewhere towards eternity.

Like ripples

from a pebble
drop in a quiet stream.

A call to all the heavens
of our collective minds

To create a bridge
to that higher state within us

In our effort
to resonate and rise

From our subconscious
Spirituality,

To surface among us
Once again,

into our presence

And become
reality
