How Far Up There Is Heaven

On a late cool light summer evening having a pondering look up to the sky quite struck by clouds so very white a question crosses your mind why? Your mind is asking how far is it? how far to where? Heaven of course as your eyes look eagerly way up there wonder how can one reach such force You can’t use a measuring tape how many billion miles to there it makes one wonder about it all as surely makes it a place so rare One must just stand back in awe recognizing heaven is truly for real no matter how much above the clouds you can make contact as you kneel (on a later summer evening a few weeks ago looking up into the sky and just thinking how far is heaven above these clouds?)
