A Day in Heaven


@Uootem

spent a day in a mystical heaven
                                sipped some wine...
                                              broke some bread, unleavened
          went strolling along a once familiar shore
tracing footprints where I have walked before.

sat nearby a lighthouse for an hour... maybe more
                                  contemplating my journey and what is it for
                                              not even noticing the ships
            that must have passed by
couldn't describe a one, should I even try.

just looked out into the infinite vastness of the sea
                                  and thought about the distance that grew between you and me
                                              but as a fog came rolling in,
            I could hear fog horns in the distance
and everything that really matters started making perfect sense.

there is always a place for memory, dreaming, and reflection
                                  where ever life leads...
                                              and no matter the direction
            it is like reaching the highest point of a mountain peak
and once again finding everything you ever did seek.

In the distance beyond this shore another lighthouse is visible
                                  standing on a hilltop,
                                              it gives the illusion of being indivisible
            and I know it shines a steady beacon for me
to someday guide me back to where I always wanted to be.
