The Heaven I Seek

by S. L. Butterworth - Pisces

This hope I keep, 
No need for sleep,
For now it sustains the Heaven I seek.

Blinding as the rising Sun,
Peaceful as the falling rain,
Simple as this red, red rose,
Perfect as perfection goes.
I see it now,
The truth I'm shown.
Forever now,
No lies I'm told.

Listen,
Ratat. . . Ratat.
What noise is that?
A mutated soul at my window,
Seeking a Heaven it cannot reach.
I hold out my hands - In suplication -
For I see the light of it's hope
(Simple, Blinding, Perfect, Peaceful.).

So I guide it home, 
Through the rain and snow.
It's home is not my heaven,
For I know not where it is.

Solemn wispers echo.
I know not.
Where is the heaven I seek?
I follow the wispers.
Tiny moths that murmer though caverns 
    and hallways, and valleys and sea's,
Yet I cannot find my peace.

So I'll live with my hope,
(Simple, Blinding, Perfect, Peaceful)
And I'll survive.
But when I die,
My heaven will come to me,
Through the rain and snow,
And banish my misery.

Reason for writing:

    Gee, I don't know what really inspired me, but I really would like some feed back.
