The Heaven I Envision

my heaven would be filled with art supplies – canvases, brushes and paints.
I would never have to sleep; I could spend days and nights painting.
There would be no cellphones, people would know not to bother me.
If I wanted company, I could flip a switch and they would join me.

My friends and family would be there, doing their own exciting activities
Based on their interests, they could play basketball, swim or play a guitar
Robotics computer geniuses would have an unlimited supply of technology
Joy would filter in and out of our day, as we entertained ourselves.

I would join my family one day a month for eating and laughing.
I would be served  mashed potatoes, barbecued pork and pies.
Apple pie, rhubarb pie, banana cream pie, chocolate pie, lots of pies.
I would see my friends whenever I wanted, and we would laugh like loons.

My heaven would be open to revision, so I could change it up as I evolved.
I would love the feeling of love and unity; and the freedom to be me.
My heaven would allow me to be myself, always.
