Stuffed With Heaven

This sad world is stuffed full of heaven.
Heaven seeps out of every pore of life,
and the dwellers in heaven hardly notice.

Very bad things happen in heaven,
poisonous snakes are in the holy temple
for a purpose, they simply ask us to see
the heaven around us more clearly,
but we are all secretly in love with suffering
and we have painted an evil mask
on revealing angels, made death into a sin
and living into a bad dream -
for most it is.

However, look around,
choose on seeing only the good,
then even the bad will turn to good.
Soon, to your astonishment, you will find
that this sad world is stuffed with heaven.
