Heaven

when words fail, let tears rise.

a rose is a rose,

a flower is a flower.

the tree, will always be a tree.

 

the butterflies and fireflies

small graces to stir the world,

 still I don't belong here

only through your precious visage.

 

you gift me not love,

something beyond, more sublime.

you feel me,

my soul as yours;

one

embraced within

your warm body.

You state in the first stanza that nature is what it is. It can be beautiful, can be mundane. The second stanza includes the small little things that flutter and flit and bring some happiness and comfort, but this poem is about the love and beauty that transcends the earthly and there is an emotion that is higher than what we can imagine. Third stanza, second line, last word. Sublime. It is that what your poem reaches. CD

Excuse my late response for your very beautiful and understanding review CD, I was away from the site and I don't come often here.

Sending You wonderful, bright and creative thoughts~

[Red Brick Keshner]

There are those connections in life's journey that fill us with so much more than what is conventional and typical of all, a rare communion and with which we bless and are blessed. Thanks for sharing this kindly!

[lightsong]

Lovely understanding and heartfelt words my friend, Thank You kindly too, for taking the time to read and review my poem. Bright Blessings*

[Ken Simm.]

Soft romance well done until we come to something that is far more fundamental. A lovely piece that I got a lot from.

[lightsong]

Thank You so much Mr. Ken for your lovely words and the kind visit, I appreciate it so much :>

[willweb]

This was soft and delicate and deeply beautiful. Of all that I am given nothing is you and even close. This poem reaches out and touches the reader, caresses their heart and their mind and whispers smiles from the page. Really nice

[lightsong]

exactly as your review leaving me with soft smiles :>

Thank You for the loving, tender and thoughtful words my friend, Bright Thanks*

This is so beautiful, Heaven is where the heart feels most comfortable, perhaps in nature or found in a warm touch. This poem reminded me of the song "Heaven is a place on Earth" by Belinda Carlisle...

"Oh Heaven is a place on earth
They say in Heaven, love comes first
We'll make Heaven a place on Earth" , your poem reminds me of this part of the song because heaven is found where love is, love of nature, love of a person. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[lightsong]

I love Belinda, as I love the 80th and 90th. What You say is true dear Aura, Love is limitless with no measure or shape. can be found anywhere. Thank You so much for your kind read and sweet words, much appreciated 🌸

[Aura]

You are welcome!

[Robert Haigh]

A lovely poetic declaration of love and appreciation! Beautifully written!

[lightsong]

:> your beautiful words make me smile* thank You so much my friend for taking the time to read and review. I appreciate it so much ~

Another masterpiece by the gifted Lightsong. Heaven is a beautiful concept but it has left human confused for thousand of years,because if human beings can not make the world around them heaven so they can not search for it in other universe. When I think of heaven, I remember John Lennon's song:
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today

[lightsong]

People stuggle to find their inner heaven, so how You want them to create it outside dear Nima? it's all comes from within. John wanted the world to live in peace, kindness, harmony and love. He knew there is evil beyond imagination in this world, why they killed him then?

Oh! did I read masterpiece and gifted :> now my Coffee and morning more beautiful for sure 😊

[lightsong]

Correction, Struggle*

[Nima.Hope]

I think it's not hard to do. Some problems that we are having today are very silly and sad. The problem of racism,facism and not respecting each other and not solving the problems by negotiations. The solution for these problems is nothing more than higher level of understanding. They can make the inner and outside of them heaven but they think it's impossible so they do not try for it.
About John Lennon there is so much to say. Evil is nothing more than humans I believe. Peace is easy to find but the benefits of war is so high for some countries to sell weapons.
Enjoy your Coffee dear.

People always try to find fault before goodness, see th empty space of the cup instead of the full space. as we both know, Greed of humans can be with no limits. If it means to have endless wars or kill countless people, It doesn't matter to them.

[Nima.Hope]

That's a very sad fact.
