Skirmish: Heaven (@atornberg)

Liner Notes

Just a silly thing that popped up when I read the prompt 'Heaven' and immediately thought of a sea of clouds. #skirmish #heaven #filk #needsmusic #collaborationswelcome Edit: 9. February 2025 put music to it #acousticonetake #singersongwriter #personwithguitar

Lyrics

Heaven

Some say there is no heaven but those have never been on a plane cause beneath the sky, far above the earth lies a heavenly domain

Its ground is made of cushy clouds a sea of endless white by night the stars are sparkling gems by day the sun shines bright

At dawn there are multiple colors that flow over the fluffy ground and at dusk they come back again just the other way around

Of course no human can live there We can only look and dreamily sigh after all this is heaven not a place for you or I

Nice one! I get a similar feeling when flying. I spend the entire trip looking out the window enjoying the changing landscape, if there are no clouds, or marvelling at the magnificence of the clouds in a Joni Mitchell way, if the heaven you evoke is outside the window.

There's a spot in southern Ontario where I've watched hawks soar above the clouds and imagined how wonderful that would be. Now I know!

Nice poetry! They looks so fluffy, until you fly through them and see the rain on the windows! The final verse is like the cherry on top. Love it! Hope to hear a demo.

This is super clever and descriptive yet to the point. I like it!

That's great! I imagined the same thing! I used to imagine how soft and fun it would be to jump around the clouds!

Nice poetic words and a clever finish!
