LIFE KEEPS ON, A DISAPPEARING STAGE

 

LIFE KEEPS ON, A DISAPPEARING STAGE

Life keeps on, a disappearing stage

Where scenes are played

Then into memory fade

And the child in us cries

Where have you gone

Oh my beloveds

Where are the flowers we ran

To give our mothers

On a day of wind and light

We could not imagine

As anything but heaven

Continuing to be

Honey on toast

And the holy ghost

Will whisper to you later

It was real;

Really, you were there.

This happened;

You were home.
