“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
Accessible. Approachable. Astonishing.

Cette obscure clarté qui tombe des étoiles.
"you are not alone," the poem said, in the dark tunnel. ~Louise Glück

Capturing the Essence; Your Words by Design
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)

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!”
