Where In the World Is Heaven

Where in the world is Heaven Or is it in the world at all We look to the sky for our blessings Forgetting, the earth is a ball Maybe it’s not a physical place More like an eternal dream Perhaps it’s somewhere far in space No human eye has seen But what if it is all around Everywhere we go Our sinful ears can’t hear the sound We’ll probably never know We roam this world, side by side But wear these selective shades Lust, sloth, greed and pride Are what we see, in trade

Something like heaven is here on Earth but only at times.I experience daily in a glass of wine, a fine meal, fine music, dear friends, love-making, etcetera. If only these experiences were greater than the Hell we have to endure Thanks for stopping by. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M

Heaven is magic without deception, visible and invisible here on our planet, if one can calm the static life we live, good poem, Anna

This is a great read! It has a great rhyme based on the perfect subject. Who doesn't want to find heaven on earth? I really enjoy reading this.

I believe that Heaven is beyond this Earth, somewhere in another realm that we can't understand....it's beyond our capabilities to fathom! But I can certainly understand your poem, and it was very awesome in every way! You brought heaven to Earth quite literally and figuratively! What a fantastic piece, Great Work!!
