I dreamt he led me
through the burning wilderness
at night
+ by morning
we reached the secret gates
past the lighthouse
that had no locks.
but one day in heaven
of rippling perfection looking down
+ I wanted to be back on the ground
with the earth beneath my feet
+ the scent of rain
drifting over the terrible sea.
I just walked the endless halls
longingly gazing out each window
flanked in buttresses
etched in high relief
feeling the smooth marble as I passed
& knew, "I don't belong here, yet;
my heaven
- my true heaven -
is still waiting for me below."
I found him again in a mirror
+ he told me
there was no reason to decide.
