One brief glimpse of heaven Before neverending exile Is Hell. Left with eternal longing, After the universe contracts To a pinhead. Yet, I experienced perfection With impenetrable mountains, Bedless lakes, Plains of current-ridden grasses, Bluest skies. Ethereal realms don't appeal When I have this world to peek in on; This Sistine to confound me, This sentient reality in full. The angel is coming to drive me out, With fire and ice, I lived paradise: It is blue and green.

Colours of Heaven
One brief glimpse of heaven Before neverending exile Is Hell. Left with eternal longing, After the universe contracts To a pinhead. Yet, I experienced perfection With impenetrable mountains, Bedless lakes, Plains of current-ridden grasses, Bluest skies. Ethereal realms don't appeal When I have this world to peek in on; This Sistine to confound me, This sentient reality in full. The angel is coming to drive me out, With fire and ice, I lived paradise: It is blue and green.
