Big Blue Yonder
You hope to meet me in a distant heavenly tomorrow;
A kettle starts to boil.You catch a glimpse of my face in the moon and stars;
Letters drop through the door.You call for me in your darkest, loneliest hours;
My shirt it smells fresh, newly washed.You find brief respite in the words of great teachers;
A cough reminds me to buy some more vitamins.Your holy mantras sing of love and longing;
The noise of children playing disturbs my restless thoughts.You search in vain for me on the mountain tops;
When all the time I am here, here in the your valleys and homes.Eternally present in your heart of hearts.
