“Heaven’s Blue Door” by Justin Francis
(with apology to Milton)
lost
whereto paradise
after the fall
after abel and cain
after sin
found
wherefore paradise
lies within reach
of a faith
in salvation
regained
thereto paradise
ever belongs
in reward of
a virtuous life
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

Ah, but who among us can call himself virtuous?
Paradise is the gift offered to an unvirtuous thief!
“I say, today you will be with me in Paradise!”
