Sinner’s Mind and Saint’s Heart

the heavenly realm
of the believers
is holy and pure
yet not beyond
the mind of a sinner

the nether world
of the nonbelievers
is cold and gloomy
yet still in
the heart of a saint

beyond the sky
beneath the ground
is there an attentive ear
attuned
to silenced souls
