Corners

There’s a corner of eternity 
where I’ve built a simple home.
A place that I can go to 
when I want to be alone.
 
A place where winds of 
time and space glide gently 
through the air.
 
A place each time I leave,
I’m longing,
wishing I were there.
 
We deal with many things in life,
so much that brings us down.
We swim through burdens, paddling,
hoping that we will not drown.
 
I guess we all have to survive,
we have to make our way.
But there is more to life than that,
you have to get away.
 
Follow your dreams 
and wonderous things,
allow your mind to go
to places where your body can’t
and if you do, you’ll know –
 
that Heaven is inside of you.
You’ll find that you’re still there.
Go find your corner of it,
build your home and rest from care.

Truly an inspirational poem which brings an inner comfort. I agree that merely surviving is not enough. I love the words and rhyme.
