Before sleep, mostly

Belonging (Art)

I think Heaven must be still, Beyond the sickness, past the ill; No heavy mind, no restless fear, No pain that follows year to year.

No shame left buried in the bone, No soul condemned to walk alone; Just quiet light, untouched by grief, And finally, a kind relief.

Perhaps that's why the world feels far, Like someone watching from afar; Because my heart, though living yet, Already longs where saints have met. Home
