Sandra Haight Poet Dizain

Concept of Heaven

When did the thought of Heaven fill man’s mind?
We know religions, scriptures, faith- desired
to teach that Heaven is a place to find
eternal happiness for those inspired.
But were these lessons that they taught required?
For even without knowledge, some profess,
that our collective stream of consciousness
embeds the thought of Heaven in each soul-
was always part of humans to express
since time began- God’s gift to make us whole.
