“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

I am where the valleys are deep, the mountains are high, and the wind moans through trees...
I don’t think an apology is warranted.

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!”
