Featured poem: Heaven 

An old man dies and goes to heaven 

There he meets a spirit 

She's a shape shifting woman 

She leads him through a stary wood

 

And the angels sing a chorus 

And the angels,  they sing a chorus 

Dum de de da

 

In a dark and lonely place 

He sees a man who calls his name

The son he never had 

And he weeps 

 

He sings walk q straight path

Don't stray as I have done

Or life will beat you down 

And steal your crown 

 

And the angels sing a chorus 

And the angels sing a bitter sweet chorus 

Sad ah so long

 

He walks home to a beautiful woman 

A mother in her prime 

A pride of souls

People he used to know 

And they dance all night 

 

The world to him was an ugly place

Thieves and beggars and crooks 

Babies born with horns and hooks 

It's hard when your strange 

Living life in vain 

 

And the angels sing a mighty song 

Look our wonderful son is home 

Come stay here if you can 

And don't go down there ever again
