Heaven

by Beautiful Chaos   Feb 25, 2013


I saw heaven reaching for earth
Laying her beauty across this fading star
It brought me comfort
Lent me hope

If something so grand could long for us
How could we not return that appetence
The craving for something beyond ourselves
Consoling

I could watch heaven reach for me all day
My eyes coloured by the grace of her being
My heart finding solace in her elegance
Mostly I find optimism

If something so perfect
So majestic
Could desire me, wonder at me
How could I not be beguiled in return?

    This paints such a gorgeous picture! Heaven can look so different to different people. When I was a kid, the church my Grandma went to had a HUGE mural on the entire back of their wall, and it was pastel rainbows and huge, billowing clouds. It was such a beautiful image, so that's something I instantly see in my head. AH I love this poem!

    I think you did a wonderful job here, Jenn, for it totally fits with the prompt.

    Loved the ending as well!
