As I was rummaging my drawers for scotch tapes, I stumbled upon a poem I wrote when I was in year 7 (grade 7). It's entitled 'A place called Heaven'. I know the rhyming scheme is a little off LOL, but back when I was 13, I didn't have any poetry lesson haha LOL. Happy reading

A place called Heaven

What happens when I leave
The Earth I love the Least
Will I be nothing
Or will I be something

I feel myself lifting into the sky
barenaked, but out of everyone's sight
Suddenly, I'm passing through space
Into a magnificent and beautiful place

I look at the gate
with resplendent golden plates
I see an angel calling my name
so I walk into its heavenly fame

Inside, I hear songs that soften my soul
The Bible is right, from what I know
And there he is, God is opening the book of life
A strong emitting lightcovers his face
For he is magnificent and great
Around him, I feel completely safe

I feel his smile a moment later
and he says "You can enter."
With Joy, I jump in exult
for I know what is my result

That's beautiful, jovian. It's truly inspirational.

Awwww thanks tiger

I like this a lot.  It just puts me in this great mood, a real anti-depressant.

Awww, thank you so much *hugs*

I can't describe how this poem makes me feel, which is a very good thing. The feelings you can't describe are the best kinds. Great job Jovian

Awwww, thank you!!! hehehe. I'm trying my best to write poetry alongside prose haha. It actually helps heaps

I've been having a look around the site this evening, as I know there is still such a lot on here that I haven't found, and I saw your poem. It's beautiful Jovian.

Cheers,
Jovian

first instincts about God and our place in the world are usually so correct, and get sooo confused. Christ said, "Let the children come to me"
maybe it's because they are the only ones who understand the love he was communicating.
this makes me want to write like a child... maybe that is the next fiction challenge.
