Limbo Isn't Limbo Anymore



FOR SALE A PROPERTY
DREAMED BY MEN
IN LOVE WITH GOD’S JUSTICE
IMITATING HIM WITH OLD TESTAMENT VIGOR

LIMBO MEANS EDGE OR BORDER
NEITHER HEAVEN NOR HELL
A PLACE WHERE ONE MIGHT FEEL EMPTY
AND NOT KNOW WHY

BUT GOD’S LOVE IS GREATER
THAN OUR ABILITY TO COMPREHEND
AND THE FENCE THAT DIVIDES
HEAVEN AND HELL
HAS BEEN MOVED

AND CHILDREN
WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE
ARE RUNNING
WHERE THEY HAVE ALWAYS RUN
ON GOD’S GOLDEN STREETS
