What is heaven?


A vision drives this post..... and brings the question.

What is heaven?
What is... the happiest thought you can imagine?

I have found mine....

My vision of heaven is that one special person, in a place where
love is at home, and peace reins. There is a good dog to share life with,
and each meal is an adventure. Pleasure is at every turn, and challenges too.
My heaven has no one sitting on clouds, nor playing harps and singing chorales.

Just a home, with happiness, and love, and peace.

Not every day is sunny and blue, but each is not stormy. No matter
the color of the sky, my loves warmth fills the gap. Together, fear
fades to a pale memory and each joy can be savored as a gift.
Each storm cloud a beautiful painting, each blustery wind a gift of a special song.

While life may be a joyful battle, love blankets all, making each day
worth a lifetime. Each day.... a day in heaven.


In the end, all else considered... my vision of heaven is wrapped
up in the body of one person. Words fail at this point, for heaven exists in
a touch... a spark..... that only two will ever feel.

Words fail......
