Premium Member The Celestial NAAFI
The Celestial NAAFI Well there sits old Buck like he always did, Waving his pipe and tilting his lid. There’s Johnny and Ronny and Shep and old Taffy, And Soapy still doing his impression of Daffy. Flapper all quiet at the side with McGraw. Knocker and Geordie, and old Billy Shore. And over there’s Banjo, spinning his yarns, And Bod with his girlfriends,...

Premium Member dizzy laughs
I had a dream. I don’t remember most dreams. I was cleaning the floors of heaven. It seemed a mixed blessing, I was in heaven, after all but I was cleaning the floors. It was a part time job, I knew that intuitively. I don’t mind house cleaning, heaven cleaning. It’s calm work, kind of Zen. Are we supposed to think of religions in heaven? At first...

The Shore that's Feared by Death
My home is not of brick and stone Nor has it laid foundations on The filthy soil of earth, no mine Is somewhere far beyond the sky. It sits upon the clouds of white And floats amidst the open skies. Its walls of gem and gates of gold Do hide a throne, I...

MOMENTARY REFLECTION
I was paralyzed in thought, and standing all alone; Surrounded by darkness, everything was gone... With barely a glimpse, from the corner of my eye; I was travelling so fast as I passed myself by. I was moving at high speed, as if, somehow out of time. Thinking to myself, looking back into the distance; Could I have been resting, or was there something...

We live and die completely In the material world It would be rather fiddly To emulate a Phoenix bird Our ashes can’t be bothered Inside their marble urns No point in fire hazard Cause we’re already burned It sounds flat simplistic Therefore it’s dull, I know I’d love to be a mystic To make of life a show I’d love to talk with God About my perspective...

Whispers of the unknown
People say we should face our fears, but how do I face mine when the path leads only forward, never back? That wild journey called death— a story with no storyteller, a door with no return. Is there light beyond, or only endless dark? With each passing day, with every fleeting celebration, I hear time whispering, ticking, pressing against my skin. Will I forget it all, or will my...

Premium Member Where does one start on eternity
When I die, where will I be? Where does one start on eternity? At the beginning? Or more to the middle? Or perhaps, left of forever a little? Or at the intersection betwixt and between the pre~ and the post-me?...

Premium Member If I see you in heaven
If I see you in heaven, will you still be eleven? Or will you have grown into a man ~ dark, handsome, and tall? And when we converse, will you be able to expound on the universe? Or will your thinking still be eleven years small? ...
