The Poet in the Next World

The Poet in the Next World

When a poet ascends into the worlds of God,
her voice becomes the ink of light itself,
she intones her stanzas in the rainbow’s hues,
and writes them on the souls
of those she left behind.

She sings
and from her spirit’s vocal chords
the radiance of angels reverberate
through the mist thin veil that separates
the plane of matter from the cities of paradise.
