Colin James Platt Poet Verse

A Flower Is Like Heaven

A flower is like heaven.
It is with us for such a short time.
Although heaven is eternal, it is fleeting. 
We cannot grasp the significance sometimes. 
We can’t see the truth for the beauty?
Life is a puzzle for sure. 
Maybe God wants us to figure it out for ourselves?
But man is a vain creature, he only wants the reachable.
The unreachable is fleeting but still there.
I can see it sometimes in my dreams, reaching out to be grasped.
I sleep, I reach, I grasp, I hold, I wonder, I marvel, I wake, I lose.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Poet Destroyer A October 10, 2015 at 10:42 PM Hi Colin, I like what you said about Heaven fading. Like a flower the feeling is real, but once it is out of our sight we seem to forget the beauty of eternal life. A pleasure to read. LINDA Colin James Platt October 11, 2015 at 1:12 AM Hiya, Linda. Yes, Heaven is like that but it is there all the same. Colin
