HEAVEN

I AWAKE AND I'M AT A BUS STOP.

ONE THAT'S NOT FAMILIAR TO ME.

ONE THAT'S CALM AND FULL OF LOVE,

WITH ALL OF IT'S GLORY.

I WALK ON, MY FAIR ALREADY PAID.

"HUH, THAT'S STRANGE" IS WHAT I SAID.

I WALK TO THE BACK OF THE BUS IN TOTAL AWE!

I SIT DOWN AND ALL I SEE ARE PEOPLE WITHOUT FLAWS.

THE BACK OF THEIR HEADS,

THE PROFILES OF FACES,

PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER,

PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT PLACES.

WAIT A SECOND! I KNOW THESE PEOPLE.

I LOOK TO THE RIGHT OF ME,

I LOOK TO THE LEFT OF ME,

I CAN'T PLACE EXACTLY WHERE I KNOW THEM FROM.

I THINK I KNOW HIM FROM CALIFORNIA.

I THINK I KNOW HER WITH THOSE NAILS, ALWAYS PINK,

THINKING SHE IS ALL OF THAT.(IN MY MIND)

HIM TO THE LEFT, GIVES A SMILE.

I SMILE BACK.

YES! I USED TO LOVE ME SOME HIM,

WAY WAY BACK THEN.

IN THE FRONT ARE VOICES I KNOW.

THE VOICES ARE ALL SAYING-------

THIS HAS BEEN A LONG RIDE,

WE WILL GET TO OUR DESTINATION SOON.

THIS RIDE IS SO CALM, SO UNDISTURBING, SO FREE.

I SEE THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE CONNECTED TO ME.

THE BUS STOPS.

WE'RE HERE!

HEAVEN
