A Flower Is Like Heaven

A flower is like heaven.
It is with us for such a short time.
Although heaven is eternal, it is fleeting. 
We cannot grasp the significance sometimes. 
We can’t see the truth for the beauty?
Life is a puzzle for sure. 
Maybe God wants us to figure it out for ourselves?
But man is a vain creature, he only wants the reachable.
The unreachable is fleeting but still there.
I can see it sometimes in my dreams, reaching out to be grasped.
I sleep, I reach, I grasp, I hold, I wonder, I marvel, I wake, I lose.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Hi Colin, I like what you said about Heaven fading. Like a flower the feeling is real, but once it is out of our sight we seem to forget the beauty of eternal life. A pleasure to read. LINDA
