The Heaven-Man Poem by Sergio Savioli

The Heaven-Man



The heaven-man takes a break
On his long way to work
Catching his breath
He looks down
Surveying what has to be done
He is calm and unflustered
Thinking of the lonely day ahead
High up above it all
Serving all the needs that have to be met below

Then he continues on his way
Up and up and up and up and up
Until he reaches his glass cabin
With his monitors, his commands and his controls

I lie on my hospital bed
And think of my last few days
Glad that the heaven-man is up there
Keeping an eye on things
And helping when and where he can

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I always think that my last video poem will literally be my last. But here I go again. I just can't stop. My brother Steve asked me if I would write poems whilst in hospital since I have the time. I told him I couldn't but it wasn't true because here is 'HEAVEN MAN' inspired by the view from my window and all the positive kind people I have come in contact with and the thoughts these induced.

The text is not just about one person whose job it is to help others but about everyone whose job is helping others.

See if you get my meaning!
