The Side of Heaven We Never See
The moon was blue,
consumed with gloom.
The stars were scared,
yet fully aware.
There was a crack,
where I stepped back.
The darkness,
grew darker.
I heard a sound,
a mighty sound.
The heavens shook,
upwards I looked.
The crack had grown wider,
I fell inside her.
The angels looked mad,
their faces were sad.
They couldn't fly,
they wouldn't try.
A black feather floated by,
on the other side,
Of heaven was I,
had I died?
I wanted to leave,
God help me please.
Words from him as I pled,
"I gave you two knees, while I bled,
With two eyes you can see,
and two feet to walk with me".
I understood every word,
And went back home, to my Lord.
Never again will I go,
Where I let darkness take a hold,
Of a weakened soul,
where fallen angels forever roam.
I awoke,
the crack had closed.
A white feather fell to earth,
I know that it was meant for me.
