FROM A DISTANCE
they were singing god is watching us, from a distance
i don't agree
i know where god resides and it is a short trip to god
if you would like to be introduced some day
when i was a child i thought god was way up there
a long way off
now i know god is here
those who know understand
if you can't see god it's because you can't stoop low enough
or aren't tall enough to see in the mirror.
THE OTHER DAY I INTRODUCED MY RIGHT HAND TO MY BODY
I THOUGHT THEY OUGHT TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER
PEOPLE SAID THAT'S CRAZY THEY ALREADY KNOW EACH OTHER
THEY ARE ALL PART OF THE SAME THING
MADE OF THE SAME THING
COME FROM THE SAME THING
THEY DON'T NEED AN INTRODUCTION
I WAS THINKING WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN
AND THEY ASK ME IF I WANT TO BE INTRODUCED TO GOD
I'LL SAY THAT'S CRAZY, WE ALREADY KNOW EACH OTHER
I DON'T NEED AN INTRODUCTION
WE ARE PART OF THE SAME THING MADE OF THE SAME THING
COME FROM THE SAME THING
JUST TELL HIM HIS RIGHT HAND IS HERE

Bernie's Poems
Do you mean to say that the same hands that performed surgery also wrote this poetry?
These are really beautiful. They take my breath away.
You have said that the power of almost every Heavenletter lies in its last sentence. From your second poem, the most powerful for me was the last line too!
JUST TELL HIM HIS RIGHT HAND IS HERE
Yet the whole poem builds to that and supports it.
From your first poem, I simply wasn't able to choose one line, so, if I had to, I would choose two (but I would really choose the whole poem):
"i know where god resides and it is a short trip to god
if you would like to be introduced some day"
Thank you so much.
Yeah!
So very dear, art thee, Bernie.
Namaste. 8) Sunshine
