.... As It Is In Heaven ....

As it is ...
Is it?
Is there really a place
of everlasting grace
outside of my heart?
What is this heaven
where ether exhales stars
through space winds
and our planet moves
ever forward through the dark?
Conscious contact
with the aliens in my mind
and a poignant grasping for
Never Neverland or, perhaps,
the angels of our nature
will greet my cynical eye !
Oh my ... never, never
do I want to die
unless, now truly truly ...
Can't I know how it is
as it is in heaven?

Interesting exploration of cosmic truth, Sue. I wonder...if we are all one, can there even be that "other" that is heaven, distinct from "on earth"? Is heaven just a term to help us conceptualize oneness from a state of duality? Interesting. And I must say that I really appreciate your writing style.

Heaven is in the beauty of a heart that gives and forget what it has given and dear Sue, you have that heart. With our love, and it is not always so easy, especially when days are tough, we make this world a little brighter every day. Great poem! Thanks for sharing and thank you for your nice comments on my poem. A very happy New Year 2010 to you and yours, Caroline.

Nice, i like it. Do you think i make up my own interpretation of it, or just feel your emotions expressed.
