Anna Hopper Poet Rhyme

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

Maurice Rigoler December 19, 2017 at 3:34 PM 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

James Marshall Goff November 17, 2017 at 5:41 PM Heaven is magic without deception, visible and invisible here on our planet, if one can calm the static life we live, good poem, Anna

James Swartz November 15, 2017 at 5:58 PM 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.

Russell Sivey November 12, 2017 at 6:14 AM 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!!
