Tower of Babel

Spiral tower stretches towards the sky
Higher than swiftest bird will fly
But even on the top if you lie
You will not necessarily go to heaven after you die

For heaven is not ordinary place
You will not reach it even if the tower stretches to outer space
But in every heart is heavenly place
In every soul there is a seed of divine grace

But what if tower was not build of stone
Or bone
In healthy body healthy spirit that is a saying is known
What if new consciousness in the body mind and spirit has grown?

Neural flame this consciousness would forge at its base
And new consciousness would be forged also in soul’s space
Gradually more profound things than it consciousness would replace
As things beyond spirit would grow to form a tower that would reach divine place
