Heaven has a rainbow lantern sky,
one to worship, idolize.

Cathedral of crafted pride,
letting go, in lavish design.

Good luck is life’s ultimate prize.
Look skyward when you die.

  1. this is wonderful, K; succinct and sharp; I idolize cathedral windows and their gorgeous colours; you’ve captured it; love the last two lines 🙂 incidentally my next post or the one after — I’ve got two trying to shove their way to the front — is about looking skyward —

    1. Thank you, John. I wrote this a while ago, but I heard this new song by Beirut today and it came back to me. I guess it was time to share it. I look forward to what you find when you gaze upward. 🙂
