Longings

Wandering among the clouds 

O! My love do you look down 

To earth with a fondness?

Do you feel a longing for life,

For it’s rich tapestry of limitless shades

Available only to earth’s inhabitants?

Moving around the vast expanse of cosmic planes

Do you miss your small home?

Filled with your laughter once it was.

A place for love and joy to share.

Here we bore the burdens of living- 

Our little sanctuary of healing.

Your shadowy presence is still all around.

I suppose the open skies charm your

Wandering spirit. 

But when the darkness falls upon infinite,

And moon and stars cuddle you in icy silence,

Does your heart long for a warm earthly hug?

“Heaven’s touch fulfills but cancels not our earth.”
