SILVER-STARRED
STRAITS
Tell me that
Heaven will be
By a lake
Eternally.
Where we will swim
In stained-glass streams
With shimmering silky
Blue-edged seams
That take us over
Water falls
Rosary beaded
Crystal walls,
Faithfully floating...
Wisdom's wake
Through charity's shores
Our souls will take.
No waves of worry
Tempestuous derision
Just silver-starred straits
To the Beatific Vision.
