Heaven Is A Difficult Place
It’s not at all what I expected.
Heaven is a difficult place,
So full of strife and tragedy,
At times I forget where I am,
Here in this place of extremes,
Of contrast,
Where kindness is born of cruelty,
Where love is born of fear,
Where enlightenment is born of ignorance,
Where all possibilities exist,
Darkness and light being what they are.

Lights
Without love,
Some kind,
Any kind of crazy love,
The lights are out
All over town.

Connected
The reason
Why your busy ambitions
Amuse,
Is connected to
The reason
Why I sit outside this evening
In an old lawn chair,
Fanning away insects
And the gentle breeze of thought.

The Chosen
God has been good to you,
You say,
Helped you succeed,
Helped you prosper.
I wonder why
God pays so much attention
To you
And leaves the prayers of so many millions
Unanswered?
