Notes About The Poem

The weight of me has left and I rise, eyeless, voiceless,
the world a colorful but fading sight, an orb confining
As bits of we, and he, and she, we rise in glory painless
to lose the ego side and be, one with God defining.

 

A Heaven Defined

By Daniel B. Holeman

The weight of me has left and I rise, eyeless, voiceless,
the world a colorful but fading sight, an orb confining
As bits of we, and he, and she, we rise in glory painless
to lose the ego side and be, one with God defining.

I often am so confused by human desire..what more could one ask for in heaven than to be reabsorbed into the body of God..to be one with God? How could we think any earthly love could compare? or would remain once in the presence of God..ALL will be there in his body as we are here in his earthly body..but not as their separate ego human self..[my opinion here of course ;)]
