I don’t believe in heaven
But I pray there ain’t no hell (Van Morrison)
.
The sky awakens dressed in angel gowns
Sugar crumbs gather in corner clouds
Sonata’s smooth out their sultry sound
Eyes crack open as summer jewels
Sun nor moon cannot prevent this fool
.
A pew surrender to love in praying rein
In love forever psalms always sing
Yet this morning finds me frantic
I dreamt I died of night in his Atlantic
I dreamt that all white clouds fell down
.
Faced with God I would have failed
God would laugh and wish me well
And I realized one old sane is true
Our old God and new God differ
From Christians, fools and Jews
.
Jesus now sleeps on a warm chocolate spoon
Dreams lose their cream when sunrises too soon
I caught reverence stealing a few glamour glimpses
It broke open my heart and ripped out my stiches
Blood for love forever stains, which Mary was insane?
.
Immaculate Mary carries the cross
Even in a universe where God’s gotten lost
And son of the sun will always burn
In religious men as they always yearn
But agnostic men climb the tree to learn
.
Then arise again father and son
How many times will there be just one
How many times shall kingdom come
How many anointers wear angel rings?
Mary, Mary life’s contrary yet sounds like a dream
.
Tall this tree of knowledge grew
In the beginning much too tall for me or you
Two hundred years before God spoke in book
Another two hundred before we were hooked
In thee of three immaculate conceptions have roared
.
So I’ve become a simple man, a simple plan
I watch each sunset polish off the sunrise
I live in here and smell each touch and sound
I wish them love in life with black book bound
But be aware of wishing wells with tales of dark sides
.
Watch out for fainting saints
Slipping from their perfect cloud (Vangoman)
