The Heaven I Know

by John Kane

I’ve got a rebellion
Pounding at the door
Crashing through the windows
Gearing up for more.

Like some incessant shelling
Voices all around
Into silence yelling
Prometheus unbound.

But Heaven I know
Causes marrow to rejoice
Shames despair and so
Gives the dead a choice.

And the river runs
From the throne of love
Disarming His fallen sons
From before time was.

John Kane
