Poem
Picturing the hills green of Ireland And sunsets of Hawaii secondhand There are times when I think How one day as quick as a wink This beautiful crazy life we know Will be naught but an old scenario When we get to heaven we’ll understand the call Why astral beings choose to come to earth at all Why they need to go through the mutation For the challenge of being tempted by temptation They must get tired of being sublimely happy And want to feel hunger, sadness, poverty, brutality Opting for a mission to experience life with birth To mingle somehow with other souls enduring dearth In heaven there’ll be no line ups to see The likes of Jesus Christ and Ghandi Everyone will be equals in their worth Returning from their mission here on earth Giving conferences each day earned Sharing and reporting lessons learned Angels talking about their earthly flight How ’twas living away from God’s light Blessed heavenly bliss in their native state Those memories erased to a clean slate In their reports, we’ll hear of things so different Moments of kindnesses in high times belligerent We’ll hear nothing short of tales of free seabirds Heroes who saved lives with their smile and kind words Mundane things that really are breaking ground Like wiping away tears off faces with a frown Up in heaven we will understand about the before and afterlife And how here on earth there is some reason for all this strife We’ll know life is nothing but a fraction of a moment in all eternity And there is really nothing differentiating you from me Read on air by invitation ~ May 12, 2021 'WORDS & MUSIC' AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submited on September 10, 2018 for contest DESCRIBE HEAVEN sponsored by FARAJ AJMAL - RANKED 2ND
