Heavenly Paradigm
The streets are made of golden glass
A maxim for the spoken mass
The hats of men arranged on pikes,
for greetings at an open mic.
St. Peter sparks a lovely talk
With angels on their midday walk
Where spatial reason holds no weight
And racial treason has no state—
And morning, noon, and night is light
And night no longer bears a sight.
The sun then takes a needed seat
For light from God exceeds replete.
We wash away our human face
And bathe in holy woven grace
Dispatch such ideologies
Removed much animosities—
Where expiry is all but purged
And diaries of love, but words
Each moment drenched in utter bliss,
shown with a monarch’s fluttered kiss.
Temporal wishes fade away
The mornings made of still allay
In free discourse, we state our minds
With intellect and traits entwined.
No pedestals for champs to stand
Equality, the stamp, the brand
As bygone mentors come for tea,
With past cohorts we’ve longed to see.
In sated hearts swelled ill with love
Now eye to eye with God above
So much to say we hardly speak
The bond attained has sharply peaked
We rap about creation’s end
The moment when elation mends
And hours seem to disappear
The winds all filled with balladeers
In sweet sensations goes the day
No petals felled from rose’s spray.
The moments filled with more no mores
And keys to fit each floor and door
Come through the gates of narrow pass
Between the blades of greener grass
For wide the gates where ruin lies
And dark the nights of ashen skies
So many flock the other way
But gates this slender will not fray
So enter into Paradise
where all salute your sacrifice.

Very well penned and thought provoking verse, Paul. Well done.
Thank you so much Phyllis
Jaw dropping flow, wow! Excellent Paul, such a vivid, heavenly expression–and tea! 🙂 Beautifully penned, with much to be desired.
Best,
Mel
Tea!! I love a great cup of tea probably more so than a good coffee. Thank you so much for your kind words Mel
A very ethereal and thought-provoking insight into what heaven could be in feel and in choice. It just reveals how messed up humanity has become, in our pointless quest for all the wrong things. The picture works perfectly for the light feel of the piece, yet it is burdened by the truth. A great work Paul, I love it!
Yeah we really dropped the ball as a species, so many things we have done against humanity and good that it really makes you wonder if we will make it past the eternal veil into Heaven.~Paul
Sooo many pictures you dredge up within this sated mind. Another very well spoken and created piece. You excel, young man!
Thank you so much my friend for your kind words.
