Tent
I had intended to start this poem like this:
I have a friend who doesn’t believe in Heaven not a stupid person, yet with all he knows, he never talks to God. He thinks no one listens in Heaven.
inverting the first lines of “Celestial Music” that lovely poem of Louise Glück though sad
but
has there ever been a day I've not been surrounded by those who love and serve The One?
no
there has not been there has never been a day not one single day not even the smallest piece of one when I've not been among the throng praise on our tongues joy in our hearts redemption on our souls dancing exultant toward His house
the storm may rage without the sheltered find rest within
This began as a riff on Louise Glück's "Celestial Music" but I have no friends, clever or otherwise, who don't love God. My whole life long, however, I have been surrounded by those who love God as I do.
“Celestial Music” is a beautiful poem, though quite sad.
