Heaven’s Keyhole

Once, when Heaven’s Angel fumbled for the key

A Portal to the Light

Revealed a glimpse of Thee

A Ray, through keyholed squint

Down-gazed upon my eye

Its sent rayed-hand kissed my iris

And stretched my soul

Full-emptied with the sky is -

Squeezed thin, pulled lightly through the keyhole

I entered in

My Soul was Oneside

My Body, the other –

Before any Angels noticed

I became one with Father-Mother

My soul, gold-spins of threaded light

Through Portal’s keyhole – Beheld God’s sight!

Soul’s pores now swelling to Infinity

Unable to return to earth’s modernity

Preferred dancing in Angelic frivolity

My Soul was Free

Yet, so dominant was

the Light of Divinity

My body could not move its physicality

My heart, it seems, broke into Heaven,

Unknowingly, now so free, when

Forever knowing Me in Thee

It caused my heart to be

Willingly

In happy ensouled captivity

The Angels, found a playful soul

Returned to Heaven’s Hall

Infused and healed my heart

With Love of Moksha-All

For earth’s heavy onward toil

Their promised lyres on Heaven’s side

Play with me, knowing my weary body tried

To attune my heart to Purity

For noble Spiritual Liberty

Until one day, my work be done

At Peace, my Body kneels again before

And, Angels nodding,

slip the key beneath

To Heaven’s Door
