Just another name

Heaven:
just another name for home,
not a destination.
Where we all belong
and from where we came
to spread ever outwards
and manifest paradise.

Earth:
just another name for home,
not a travel vehicle.
Where we all belong
and to where we came
to bring unconditional love
and manifest paradise.

Hell:
just another name for home,
not a threat.
Where we all belong
and where we find ourselves
if we forget how to love
and manifest paradise.

cogent, beautifully conceived, and full of human truth... simple and clear, and bigger than some novels. very satisfying.
your lovely, decent and kind character shines through this piece.

that's it for now!

sincerly,

Al

for your lovely comment
i'm glad you liked the write..... i feel it probably needs more.. but that might just be because it is pretty much what i wrote in my 'free-thinking' stage and usually i have to clean those up a lot...
cheers

This is a vivid peek into your lovely well balanced soul. Beautifully done piece. I cannot pick a favorite verse as they are all equally brilliant.

It’s been a long time,
Since I read you,
I have already seen both
Heaven and earth in this life,
So I returned of my own volition,
As I liked the earth more
Than heaven
Amen!

The three levels of the universe a manifest junction.

Interesting, entertaining and unusual. Thanks for sharing.

P.S. could you please post your "Da'at" poem again I like to read it.

The only life we know, eh?

So full of wonder, wonderfully written.

Very human. To me, very very spiritual. The three were made as one, and with enough work, can be.

Most excellent poetry.

Reminded me of a comment i heard once : Would you rather be an atheist and proven wrong at death or a believer and proven wrong. Reckon it would be the difference between having a home or being homeless. Now I'll shut up lol.....stan

sorry about the group comment - i just dropped in to see quickly - i've been busy with the new job and promoting my book... hope to get back to read some of your work next weekend.... (with fingers crossed and a bit of luck)

Rosi - it is a truth i think, thanks hugs xxxx

jc - thanks hun... gladd to see you - hope all's ok (????) - huggles xxxx

loved - i love you - thank you for the lovely poem - heaven might be a little too 'goody-goody' for some? xxxx

john, thanks so much for your comment - i appreciate your opinion
and no sooner asked for than granted... i wasn't going to post anything until i got back more frequently ... not fair to do so and not review others... but since you especially asked i'm very glad to post da'at xxxx

anna - so lovely to see you again... thanks for the comment -
i'm actually suprised this has been reviewed well... it really was posted as a rough draft, to get feedback and i expected flack (or nothing - smile) because i 'wroted and posted'... (got to admit i had no idea where else to take it..) xxxx

jim... thanks so much for the visit - see my above comment - they're for all as well as one. xxxx

stan xx my sister used to always say to me that she envied those who did have a strong faith in continuation... when they died they were either proven right or it didn't matter they'd never know... lol xxxx
