This Close To Heaven
Light pollution in the night sky
Obscures the celestial from earthly eyes,
Drifting closer, heaven is nigh-
Or so the wise do say.
Dancing in the night,
Chasing fireflies,
Spectral shapes of right and wrong, delight-
Slowly paint images before tired eyes.
At the heart of it all, it must be true
Heaven is moments away, and I-
I am not living like I'll see you
Eternity pours out her heart, soon to pass by.
Leave a light on for me,
As I slip into an empty black hole
My eyes are becoming too dim to see
Paths of my own making encompass my soul.
Heaven is just this far away,
Watching from behind a cloud
A racing yet reticent mind in disarray
Moments close to heaven, just as near to hell.
