Pastures Green

x

We ask you

You are near

To take us with you

After

As you let us go

Before

With this strange back-and-forth

The holding

Letting go

For the between

x

The life we know

Best we can

Or may

Given potential

And our choices

Matter more

Until

They done

Evolving to obedience

Rejection

Nothing more

x

To train like angels

To rebel

Like angels

To resolve

The war in heaven

So that admittance

To the new Earth

Is allowed

x

A heaven

Made for one

Which was hell’s agenda

Now thrown open

Like windows

Upon spring

From mansions

To interpret

A party in the courtyard

With victory overwhelming

All remembrance

Love and food

For news

Living water all around

For

Life and safety

Wings and colors

All released

For good

The Green Pastures, a great movie, I recall (see it, hear it)
