Write in the Park Day 07
(Hello everyone!
I'm back, writing in the park again. I took this photo from my window seat
while flying over the South China Sea, returning from Kota Kinabalu last
Friday 13May22.)
High up in the clear blue skies
way beyond the clouds
A tranquil calm and emptiness
Is this what heaven's about?
In this borderless expanse
we fly from cloud to cloud
A life of freedom that never ends
Is this what heaven's about?
Will there be days, will there be nights
in this heavenly space
Or will there be only daylight
throughout our heavenly days?
How I wish that we could live
a tranquil peaceful life
High above our troubled earth
away from war and strife.
How I wish that we could fly
in skies of heavenly blue
Free from hunger and illnesses
and grief and cruelty too.
O how I wish for heaven's days
joyous and free from care
A heaven where there are no nights
nor sorrow nor despair.
