Where would we dwell

Heaven or yet beyond,
where do we wish to dwell?
Heart’s desire is soul’s aim,
as we seek, so it is,
fulfilled in life’s end game.

Heaven or yet beyond,
is the question we’re asked;
‘beyond’ meaning no form,
where all that is is Self,
deprived of love’s bliss storm.

Heaven or yet beyond,
concept unknown to mind,
so let’s first discover,
the light of Self within,
as God’s ardent lover.

Heaven or yet beyond,
left the Buddha perplexed.
He chose to bilocate,
as the vaporised Self,
yet poised at heaven’s gate.
