Heaven

Heaven

Heaven must  be a place
where none else is
And yet we reign supreme
Above all, yet alone,
our mastery
undisputed unchallenged
Sovereign.

Because in heaven
Our presence is perfection
We're all in all
Complete in isolation
Surrounded by solitude
A golden silence.
Simplicity
Our deliverance
Complicit with utter lack of want. 
An attaiment of the very best
The essence of everything.

On Earth
We compete and fight our own
Petty selves,
Split into lying shards
Multiple mrror images
Dissected to deceive.

Conflicted egos engaged in
Puerile pernicious battle
Still jealous, sullen, suspicious
Of our very own depths
That we flounder in...

Meanwhile heaven lies heavy
Upon our souls
Ordering guilt trips
To hell a plenty
Till unity is sought
In understanding
In empathetic
reception.

And then finally
We find
We are alone
True masters
of  existential experience.
In heaven
We are one...

And solitude and rest,
Clarity and compassion,
Reward not one,
Not you,
Not me alone,
But universally,
reapers of peace
In explosive successions.

And love
Regrows us exponentially
our organic shells discarded
Boundaries transcended outgrown
Into shimmering halos
Auras of infinity
Divine benediction.

Heaven is you.
Knowing me
So well
That I become
You
And renew
me.

And you see yourself
Through my eyes
And pierce veils of
Illusion and delusion.

Ourselves
Are both,
Rescued and
Savior. 
Salvaged and Salvation.
Mendicants and Messiahs...

When sun
Falling soft
upon our sleeping souls
Light up the true side
Of this ethereal mirror of
Life.
Awakening third eye
Of unified perception
And bring us to
Our heaven.
