Waiting for Heaven

I try not to

wrap in judgment

I try not to 

frame in boxes

I try to be fluid

like a river

I try to flow

like raindrops

down here on planet Earth

there are alot of judgments & boxes

you me us them

conflict guns death

sorrow tears anger

I try to build on forgiveness

I try to climb on long views

oh, to see existence from the mountaintop!

Abraham & Martin

didn't make it to the

promised land,

maybe that will wait

until heaven.

Some lovely images here, Hélène 'Fluid like a river' is a good example. Thanks for this.
