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.
