You Paint Heaven Now
There is no end of you,
you are in between lives,
getting no nearer.
You stand
in the center
of a thousand mirrors,
and when the doors of heaven
creek open,
there is a silence after
silence after you…
I watch you measure
the splendor of stars on water,
but every time I think I can get closer,
I just get further.
Echoes and thunder,
questions and answers,
it’s all over,
over now
You are drenched
in sunlight and moon-sparks,
your imagination takes off
to landscapes undiscovered.
You paint Heaven now,
you paint Heaven now,
your body’s wandered
away from your soul,
but you are complete,
you are whole,
you paint Heaven now,
you paint Heaven now.
