A Theory of Heaven and Hell 6
I am prompted to share what’s vague to me
Still it possesses searing clarity
A friend appears to me from Heaven’s realm
Bear with me I shall boldly take the helm
2
I shall not name this person he’s well known
You may deduce him as his name has grown
He’s in some texts I bury here
It matters not if his ID is clear
3
My purpose is to guess at heaven’s scope
And to avoid abstraction’s envelope
My friend came too clearly to ignore
A voice inside my head opened the door
4
I can’t remember every word we spoke
It freed me somehow I can laugh and joke
We then had conversation while I wrote
Then it ended on a curious note
5
This was months ago but I’m still free
What was is still as real to me
And what I shall now say is a result
My friend and I shared something difficult
6
Today I know much more about his life
Isolation conflict pain all rife
It seems heaven has a complex nature
Not meant to make us perfect or secure
7
My friend could only venture just so far
He made me see how fickle we all are
And more that Heaven is not end
It bears us on wherever it may wend
