heaven's a lonely place

'heaven's a lonely place'                           timothy r gates, 8/6/2013

into a mountain's cloud
jesus needed alone time
only his mother knew
how to incline her ear,
understood silence's knife,
we hear what we want
until we listen,
smoke needs not to clear
seeing is not believing.
heaven's a lonely place
if a friend's wordless hug
leaves you not knowing,
unable to hear a stream's
rippling.
some angel's wings
are like morning pigeons.
other angels fly,
the only wings seen
are those painted,
only thing noting their flights.
