steering into stars
sails brush indigo skies
hearts flutter on boat
drifting toward clouds
tunnel summons us home
silence is the language

dancing is the love
within the light that
brings us to softness
unsullied beginnings
hearing angels sing
God opens Heaven’s Gate, 
shiny pearl glows
like unending fireflies,
greeted by many souls
