If Heaven

Nostalgia, Inspiration and curiousity spring spontaenously from my soul
heaven..what is it
what does it consist of
an eternal hope, an eternal promise which will all be realized one day

Until then, the mist of sadness and tears interwine
leaving the hopeless, downtrodden trudging through their days
convinced that their life is of little importance
that Hell is their destiny to be relived for eternity

the glimmer of hope seems to real, too optimistic
yet somehow a burst of inspiration
floods through the soul
a familiar hope, a longing ache that seeks to find a remedy

can heaven be as simple as a quilt
a quilt with patches containing lessons and reasons for our existence all interwined
humankind, filled with the same basic ingredients
all bound with a soul, a soul with a particular path to travel

This quilt containing the roadmap of life which guides the soul
it remembers all those who have touched your life
whether you are aware or not
people who have left their impact, with only a small patch on this quilt to reflect their efforts

Somehow in this life, all the paths in this maze of life become obscurred
obscurred by the daily life of living
by the human trap of one's own paradigm
unable to see things through the eyes possessed by others

the memory betrays
the human heart, without intervention, is unaware of the subtleties
the only constant subtlety is the beating of the human heart
but the messages of it are all too often ignored

the depressed, the downtrodden have all created a hope in others
a message that their soul is destined to share
they have a patch of others in their quilt
and others, being touched by their strength, by their human love and sacrifice, no matter how small have added their patch to the quilt

if somehow there is a quilt
all those who have touched us, even those who have left us for heaven
their voice, their heart, and their patch is not forgotten or lost
because heaven is just as much about the reward of getting there as the quilt of life each of us have created, and the people who have helped us create it
