#lovedeath
If heaven wasn't so far away
If I could drive there in just one day
I'd pack my car and get there fast
Or fly there with a rocket blast
Thank my God for hearing this plea
And for letting your eternal soul go free
I'd fight a thousand armies
to a win a raging war
Or paddle against the currents
with just a canoe
if I only had one oar
Defending all your beauty
and the light you gave us here
I am not too far,
my heart is always near
I'd walk a thousand miles
just in my barest feet
Or hire a passing, ghostly shipping fleet
and watch the troops of demons to their
grievous quick retreat
I would walk through the hottest fires
of a crazy burning hell
Or surf the oceans fastest, highest
waiter, water swell
I'd slingshot through the stars
Or float up on a bardge
Just ask the Man in Charge
I'm' waiting for the call
to bring you home again
I'm waiting here for you
back here ...
back in
your earthly Glen.

*****
(of Solomon)
On starry nights,
i think of the comets and meteors
that graced the starlit skies of past nights,
of falling stars, as i uttered my wishes,
and remembered sweet words spoken,
like a love song...
"you are my sun, my source of light,
my moon...my accompanying glow at night,
you are my rainbow,"
to hear you say them, was just divine...
feelings and people may not live long enough
but love....is stronger than death...
i refuse to acknowledge a lukewarm, or dying love
dwelling embers might just need to be fanned
no anger, or raging fire, must consume one's heart
after darkness from a broken heart, loss, or pain,
always comes the light...as promised by God...
*** "Close your heart to every love but mine;
hold no one in your arms but me.
Love is as powerful as death;
passion is as strong as death itself.
It bursts into flame
and burns like a raging fire." ***
(Song of Solomon 8:6 -- Good News Translation)
