There was a land we could never touch 
Somewhere far too deep 
Somewhere you were scared to go 
And somewhere that I couldn't lead 

Why we never left, I'll never know 
Time was fast, and so were we 
We never could stop to take a look 
and sometimes it was too dark to see 

I though maybe you could never feel 
Because of him I'd never be 
In his light I was Shadow  
and the dream being the pure light finality 

The cloud grew up to be a flower 
Because in the end 
We'll always have 
Our own Nuclear Heaven 

Mikael Bernard is currently working on two novels. The first is a sort- of comedic love story about a soldier in a war -- as comedic as a war can really be. The second is a more-comedic about the spiritual journey of an American artist in Paris. He finds time to write short stories and poems in between. He is hoping to make a collection of these for publication someday.
