Heaven

For the contest Heaven

 

Heaven is Awe

Awe to Him

Awe to Her

Awe to One

Awe to All – because one and one make one

Because we are all connected

 

Heaven is Perfection

No more wants

No more striving -

No more … goals.

 

Heaven is Nothingness

Hope is gone

Dreams are gone.

I need nothing

 

I need nothing but Him.

 

There will be no beauty in Heaven,

            The eyes will see nothing

There will be no music,

            The silence will enchant us to dance

There will be no food,

            He will be the ecstasy for our tongues

                 And… after all, our tongues will be busy with Praise

 

Our senses will be stopped

Heaven cannot be defined

               cannot be explained

               cannot be reasoned

 

For, it simply….

                             i

                                s

Great piece of writing sir! LOL...just kidding...I know you are a girl!

I liked the flow of it...came through like thoughts trickling through the mind. And the pondering heaven's definition is brilliantly conflicted. The ending is perfect...the last thought fell off of the . . .

Cheers!

"There will be no music,
The silence will enchant us to dance"
Those lines stood out to me. Very beautiful. I love the imagery. It's descriptive without being cliche (which is refreshing). I also agree with Sir Fredersen. The flow was perfect for the feel of this poem. For the feel of Heaven. It was effortless (or so it seems). Thanx for writing!

i am a bad person so i am going to Hell. i don't care because i'd rather be in Hell then wherever you are

I was raised Christian for 18 years of my life. Although I have strayed from any kind of conformed religion other than the religion of "I don't know what's happening, but I want to believe in something". Despite religious standings though, this is well written. I love the stance you took on it as well. Just the whole part about their being no beauty, no music, no food, because those will be taken up with the celebration of Him and the celebration of nothingness. Awesome, man.
