Oh heaven unending
Long nights spent journeying to thee
That heaven unseen by mortal eyes
And forbidden to leave
The prisoner that waits alone
Day after unceasing day
Wakes tired of life and sleeps
She is not forgotten by heaven
She is not forgotten when his ears are ringing
With laughter and taunts that she cannot escape
All cruelty is for her a water to swim in
There is no penetrating it above nor below
The stars sing out above her
And the soft blanket under her is for her a heaven
Oh world outside her door
Oh world that she will never get to see
Long writing notes and passing them down in bottles
They are picked up by the most special people
She tells them of the spaceships filled with the dead
Are flying by and overhead
How they hunt down mortals and make them prey
And are hunting her even now
Yet another word and yet another
They are seeping into the cracks under the door
And trapped they may prey on her unawares
Like acid or like disease
But there is hope in the stars above
And the world all around her
She may not leave her home
But she is still a beautiful part of it all
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
