Heaven

When we talk of heaven, the divine, the soul and the father 
we also talk of glory, adoration and our mothers in one breath 
This is when we talk of our world 
It is only through ourselves that we understand  our Shangri la 
But I am no longer myself
So from the bottom of my heart 
I wish to see your  light 
To walk among your saints  
And then it will all be said and done 
I will have lived well
Or at least  met your paradise
Since I Lost myself, I lost my saints , I lost my sight
my heart you are 
The divine, my soul, my glory, my  light 
My remaining eyes 
I can only see heaven through you.
