"The Kingdom of Heaven Is Within You."
-Jesus
["Walk on through the wind/ walk on through the rain/though your dreams be tossed and blown...
from You'll Never Walk Alone song from the musical "Carousel" by Rodgers and Hammerstein]
he said it is His april and the peach petaled wind
will cast your dreams before you as you walk;
you must keep walking
though the sky thunders and the private soldiers languish
that it may be whatever may be still
the april of your dreams
or smile in the mirrors where the wars rage on
and scatter the ship of winds so that petals form the mast
and soon at last at last the kingdom that you dream oh
who oh who will wrest from your hand
it is the beautiful soon he cried, all autumn
where he stood, let the red leaves fall
and wishing start though your heart is cut
when the private soldiers scheme and
nothing is won but everything is dreamed
and you walk on
