maybe he's born with it; maybe it's communion wafers

heaven is perhaps just when we start again
at the beginning
a different beginning
and this time you're there
and you say
i'm sorry i took so long
the time wasn't right
and this time it will be okay

so i'll try to remember
when i'm staring weeks of death
squarely in their ugly faces
when my body screams
to run for safety
that pain is the price we pay
for being late
and that next time will be better

heaven is perhaps just when
i don't have to write this
when i compose nothing
when i lack nothing
when i fear nothing
