Heaven

whether this transcends
depends
on how I end -
my means ...
my meanings ...
for if they mean my end
then my ending means
my life will have been
empty.

But then I see You. I See you. I see you.
and tho' faceless your existence
is more than enuf 2 give
presence to this empty rhetoric,
this forced diatribe,
... this love letter ...


suddenly my words have body


and my meanings no end -
the ends to my mean
suddenly justified -
just 2 fly

suddenly the words I love U
mean a beginning,
4 I've spoken them in your absence
for a lifetime of forevers ...

So this DOES transcend
because its end
has meaning,
and a means to its justified end
has begun,
so my question only depends
on where it is
U transcend.
