Early Morning Walk

I am standing at the gates of heaven
two stones sing the road for me
gathered at the beach
early
morning the best time of day in stillness
there is the haunting beauty of prefection
and I am at the door of heaven singing
singing for the ones in Tibet who burn
who burn their bodies with passion for
the liberation of their county oh the pain
the strength of mind it must take to die

Now I get to live this life of pure bliss
in country road I walk with birds singing
Heaven I am in heaven but I feel hell 
Romeo Dallaire is on the radio talking
talking about the global politic of pure
indifference to the flight of  suffering


I am walking in the early morning dawn
with the dog god dog with me he is so
full of love and in the moment he is all
the stones sing me home now sing me
an understanding of my world here
my world in a moment of knowing
it can all change in a fraction the blink
of and eye and it is over life life love
the young men of fire the red flames
flying as one runs he is on fire  get
a blanket of water smother the pain
oh God he is somebody's beloved
now long does the body withstand
I am at walking in the door the door
of heaven singing their death song
