Lonely begets forgiveness
Suggesting discernment
With hints of sarcasm making small talk
Night lights and recovery groups
Little musketeer angels appear
Like cabbies in New York
Getting the message clear
Telepathy murmurings
Infusing encouragement
Out stretched hands with bear like paws
Like a great mural on the ceiling of God
Parade sirens shifting clarification to peace
Speaking in broken English
A wisdom much greater then my own
I surrender to the darkness
Giving God an automatic “Thumbs Up”
I’m wondering what happens
When he says…”That’s It”
Are there ATM machines there, in heaven?
Ignoring two years of experience
Working in Repossessions
I’m self-assured
Any experience, ignores that permanent
Silent print on the heart…
Whispering my name
Almost too good to be true
The quiet echoes of ghosts
Conquering all fears

ah, I was contemplating heaven just this morning, wondering how, given man's penchant for misdeeds, all would be heavenly there?  

i enjoy your use of metaphors, and though i know i do not catch all the meanings, still, your words speak to me and i love the feel of their tumble across my tongue

If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . .

very powerful, complexity of writing against the seeming simplicity of the title is a great contrast
enjoyed

"The quiet echoes of ghosts
Conquering all fears" - I guess they try their best.  We just can't hear them most times.  Your writing takes the reader on amazing and complex journeys.  Thank you for sharing your gift.
