If heaven is as good as it sounds

If heaven is as good as it sounds

then take me there

to a place that is forever

white and green with eternal springtime

like in stories where bread fall from the sky

like ash flakes after a campfire in the morning

like hope descending and unbecoming

where there is only love

where we are going

and more than I love

as good as it sounds

than impermanence

our life here below

our sadness

beyond present dissatisfaction

raised up to heaven

won’t I gawk

on the table unspent

forever mirthy

a joy that lasts

for nothing dies

like flowers

alive and held

so unweary

undemandingly
