Closer to the Stars
Ken Pullen  –  copyright 2011
Heat wave of July
outside
looking upwards to the sky
most mired here melting
frying
frayed
dying
I look closer to the stars
distancing myself
from here
looking heavenward
yearning
to get closer to Jehovah Elyon
Most think they’ll find relief
from their oppression this night
at the thermostat
on the wall
the thermostat
isn’t where relief is at
they’re missing the most important
call
standing
staring blankly
at that wall
Outside tonight
this July
where the air is so thick
it feels almost as if I could lie down upon
it
and if a breeze came up
it would lift me
rise
closer to the stars
for all I have in my eyes
is the light shining through the
darkness
while too many
have sweat dripping
blurring any vision
stinging
burning
constant relief
they are yearning
from this relentless
burning
I, go outside
closer to the stars
leaving this all behind
walking upon the steps
heavenward
from Jehovah Elyon’s
truth I did find…
