Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

This muse is inspired by some conversations about heaven and some Biblical verses I read about heaven in the book of Revelation.. 

Heaven Through the Eyes - - a Collab With Ja Fraser

HEAVEN THROUGH THE EYES

Won't you tell me places called heaven on earth?
for so long, so long, I tried to search and search
Come east. Come west. North to south, I all reach.
my quest began since day of my birth. . .

It's pre-historic paleolithic age, this beautiful place
Karnataka's architecture amidst it's greenery.
Heaven through my eyes seeing such scenery
to walk it's ground my thoughts gently grace.

Meandering many miles from a dripping spring,
the Fraser River in it's glory catches my eye,
heaven through my eyes as I stand nearby
to hear it's lapping waters as it sings.

This magnificent fissure, one of earth's abyss,
the Grand Canyon on the Colorado Plateau.
Heaven through my eyes, in erosion flow
resided the ancient Pueblo whom lived in bliss.

Supple strong arms cradle me from harm
Salty tears they slowly fall, to flood
cracking gradually sadness that long clog
Heaven reveal to my eyes your charm

behold thee not by a necklace of glitter
but a love so peaceful and oh so tender
that 'til this life is through I'll remember
no longer do I want ever be shut!

as all these infuse in me reasons to smile
and again take a look at yellow horizons
with it's curly shaped clouds white and some blue
Heaven is revealed to my eyes by the presence of you!

Evergreen leaves so lush cluster among trees
Daisies, magnolias, orchids they paint a beauty
Ocean blue touch the sea's face of purity
Heaven through my eyes displayed for free!

Beyond this life, beyond this whole wide world--
do you believe a place called heaven up there?
If you do, won't you tell me a clue to exactly know where 
and what to do for so long, so long there I like to curl?

Paul Callus January 4, 2015 at 6:53 AM A top rating for this lovely collaboration. For those who look closely enough there is already heaven on earth...and for those who believe, there is a more magnificent heaven where His presence surpasses all beauty. One clue to get there is obey the commandment of love! // paul Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser January 4, 2015 at 8:04 AM Thanks much PAul.. :)! in the old testament, ten commandments are enumerated, but particularly in Deuteronomy and in the NEw Testament, Jesus summarizes it with first Loving God and Loving our neighbors.. :)! this the two commandments.. :O thanks much for this generous comment.. You nailed it!
