It Was Heaven Enough

“Imagine there is no heaven…”

You had crooned dead Lennon’s lyric

So long ago,

Although it seems yesterday

Scabbed with sweet deceit 

And the headiness of lies.

Yes, it was no heaven

But still empyrean

With its azure games 

And promise of eternity.

The descent had to be steep

And final.

No not final.

Walking over stars 

Goring feet and soul 

Was redemption enough

It was heaven enough...
