Laughter in the Eaves poem

Laughter in the eaves

Heaven
is filled with
laughter dripping
down
from
the eaves.

It will greet me
with
wide margins,
and
endless fields
of tall grasses
swaying
on a feather’s breath,
and swaths
of quiet hush
and there are
a thousand
secret places
to be
and alone
but never
lonely.

And all
the words
I have
ever needed
will be there
in heaven
where
the eaves
drip with
laughter.
