In Heaven, In The Tall Grasses

maybe all things that were heavy on earth will be light there

walking in the tall grasses of Heaven, no sticker bushes

even uphill wont feel uphill


breathing in all  the green

and dressed in our summer Sunday best

no humidity


just the part of summer kept

that was eating raspberry sherbet

on a wrap around porch


the children dressed in blue violet shadows

remembering the old games

tag in Heaven.


wouldnt that be something.

where could you hide in all that light

and why would you want to


when everyone you loved

was finally in the same place

and forever

P.S. This poem was inspired by an actual dream I had early this Sunday Morning.
