HEAVEN IS VERB AND NOUN

Heaven, synonymous with Heart in its becoming of the New Human ~ perception, perceiver and perceived when merging incubates an anechoic reality________ all else incanting illusion labyrinths of hopelessness whether it includes jade palaces, tantric temples peacocks and tigers or not this is Heaven here and Now breath exhaling creation ~ inexplicable veins loving blood, organs in ordination verb and noun Titanic in its tendrilled Presence eating baked beans and toast moves faster than Light slower than sea anemones more silent than Lake Nyos louder than Blue Whale’s mating song or Tsar Bomba it basks with dragoned purity though cobbled streets are littered its wisdom sits undulating beckoning in a cage of curved bones yet uncaged lullabying, pastel peaceful in knowingness of its supreme sweep of spacelessness microscopically macroscopic watchful it vanquishes each unconquered unconscious whisp of betrayed withdrawal no winged seraphim dared touch not their tenacious task Heaven descends its curves to pinecone point whilst exuding expansively exponentially inserting itself into unfolding ascending Earth, balmy rawness carrying lifeforce across Cosmos planets material and spiritual saluting Embrace of all Embraces a merging of that which is, with that which is not black-holed stillpoint engaging movement a willow touching river’s ripple then lovingly instantaneously disengaging with a sweeping sweet olive gale indelibly homeless Homeric hereness essentially homed homocentric awareness of longings within unlonging ~ a this-ness sepulchre crystal flickering on and off, a flowering peach the becoming… Heaven ~ a webbed transparency cuts through every mountain, cavern, hypocrisy riding each wave with a thousand elusive kaleidoscopic expositions luminousity of Galactic Sun in action, fissured fragility reaching the impenetrable, nurturing, cradling a found key into dark keyhole and treasures unlocked ________the search for a real garden goes within chocolate eggs or glow worm caves ekphrasis or sonnet but dismissive simulations nothing else matters surrender all bookish understanding unbind every vaporous desire dissolve each scripted letter, poet pen pigeon feather or bamboo holiday home victory over the unconquerable unquenchable happens in authentic instances of knowingness there was never a fight or journey HEAVEN is for REAL splendour within ~~~~~~~~

Dear poetic soul, you have a way with words, and your words are authentic and so real and never written to please but to release spiritual energy that touches the soul of readers and leave our heart warm and full. This poem emanates comfort and light and is so very touching and moving and i cant help but be in awe of the way youv written such a convincing poem and depicted heaven as what you have within and around , a poetic reminder to appreciate and absorb all! Pleasure reading this! Sending you light always

While I may not agree with all the sentiments expressed (I believe the Bible's version of heaven is the accurate one) I can't deny this is exquisite, dynamic poetry. Nicely written!
