Heaven

Love does strange things
It twists people up inside
Confuses them
Opens their eyes
Or blinds them
To reality.

Do I love this realm?
Do I love the creatures here?
Heaven is a human concept.
It’s perfection
And happiness
And warmth
And safety
But more than anything it’s love

That’s what their important book says
It’s love.
Everything is love.

So if we’re going to make heaven here
We must love.
If we’re going to make ourselves strong enough to build the world we want
We must love.

Everyone will contribute to heaven on earth in their own way.
In their own time.

Mercutio…
You promised to come with me
And this is somewhat different, but
You promised.
We disagree on so much now, and I don’t know how it happened.
I don’t know why
Or how
To connect with you anymore
It was never how it is with Sylvester
But at least

At least there was love.
Maybe we can find that again.

In heaven.
