Questions for the Next Séance

Audio Recordings, Family / tagged Communication, Curiosity, Death, Heaven, Regrets / May 11, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Dearest Mother;

Sorry to disturb you
in your well deserved bliss,
but here’s a short list
of things that I forgot to ask

And if it isn’t too much trouble
I’d like the answers as detailed as possible

It will be understandable
if you can’t conjure up a voice,
but one rap for yes, and two for no,
on a floating table won’t quite do

However, if you can look up Samuel Morse,
(who may well be bored and available),
he can give you a quick-study course
and I will dust off my old Boy Scout manual

I believe “talk to me” In Morse still becomes:

-/•-/•-••/-•- /— – – –/––•

So, now that we’ve got the hang of it;

– What was the best day of your life
– What was your worst
– Your greatest triumph
– Your greatest disappointment
– What you are happiest that you did
– Saddest that you didn’t

Why exactly did my uncle shoot my dog
Whatever happened to my baseball card collection, with the rookie Mickey Mantle

and what is heaven like

Paradiso

Audio Recordings, Personal Growth / tagged Faith, Heaven, Literature, Paradise, Religion, Searching / February 22, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Finally diving into Dante
skipping Inferno and Pergatorio
and straight through to Paradiso

Theory being that life will provide plenty
of coals to walk on with or without my help

Protestant at Catholic school
I've passed through the purgatory
of "No Questions" nuns teaching catechism

Heaven on the other hand
might still be a thing for earning
and worth the price of active search
with any maps and guides a blessing

There's Beatrice now, I'll follow her and let you know

The Threat

Audio Recordings / tagged Faith, Fear, First Nations, Heaven, Hell, Native, Religion / October 1, 2023 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Religions arising in hot countries
know what people know of hell on earth and add a few degrees

Religions born in colder climes
threaten eternity with never a thaw

In the happy hunting grounds
it is always perfect hunting weather

GOD / DOG / MIRROR

Audio Recordings, Relationships / tagged Death, Dogs, Faith, God, Heaven / July 16, 2023 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

GOD IS DOG IN A MIRROR
DOG IS GOD IN A MIRROR

KENNY HAD ALWAYS
A DOG AT HIS SIDE

NOW HE LIVES IN THAT SPACE
BETWEEN MIRRORS
WITH ONE ON EITHER SIDE

The Light The Light

Audio Recordings / tagged Heaven, Hell, Judgement, Perception / April 2, 2023 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Below the rainbow that we see

The infra-red we judge
and add a tail and horns

Above the rainbow that we see

Ultra-Violet beings dwell
let's add some wings to these

Laughing With the Dead

Audio Recordings, Relationships, Remembering / tagged Heaven, Joy, Laughter / October 23, 2022 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

In loving memory of Sharon Stuart, Hal Stone and Copper Love

Eulogy

Audio Recordings, Family, Relationships / tagged Death, Heaven, Love / February 17, 2022 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

My mother passes
from the womb of this life
to the new life of the next

It has been a difficult journey

My father is waiting for her
with two saddled horses

She is happy to see him
while still nervously scanning
for Jesus
who she thought would be there
to greet her

My father laughs

Plenty of time for that
in a place with no time

Let me help you up
onto this gentle roan
there’s a sunset I’d like you to see
