Sunny Days in Heaven Spiritual/Political/Philosophical Blog on the Nature of Truth and Falsehood and Heaven |
Friday, May 10, 2002 Poem from a Sunny Day I don't rise to heaven like Elijah not because I can't but because I won't. I think I should, but I have no such might. God saves man from despair and shows a way to heaven; then he sets him down again in folly and in tedium to brood on sin and love. When does this brooding stop with innocence restored? If not on earth, then when in heaven? Is there any end of guessing what our limits are; or hopes? When men are left alone, they have no peace. When God abandons us, time is morose. A man redeemed is glad despair is gone, yet, he later tires, too, of dancing. posted by Mark Butterworth | 1:23 AM | |
