current NY state of mind

heaven meeting me
between Jersey and the sea
is New York City



fly up from decay
to de civitate Dei
the Appian Way

late have i loved You, lately Here

lately I've been feeling like
it's taken all my life to get here,
but here I am.

night is night
day is day
sleep is death
life is breath

would each next heartbeat steadily say:
it's taken years and tears to get here
but here, I Am.

no more to roam

beauteous fields lie just before me
where the redeemed no more shall weep

i'm goin there to see my mother
she said she'd meet me when i come
i'm only goin over Jordan
i'm only goin to my home
