    There Is No Almost Heaven

    heaven is a place so large and so real...
    it is still being prepared.
    the building of it is not yet complete.
    there are no outer chambers...
    no long hallways to add to the suspence.
    heaven does not consist of wood or chrome.
    there is no wind or rain to decay or diminish.
    heaven cannot be seen...
    it must be sensed.
    heaven cannot be touched...
    it must be felt.
    heaven cannot be understood by the human mind...
    it can only be known by the human soul.
    heaven is not about flesh and blood...
    it is about the depth of one's soul.
    heaven cannot be purchased.
    it is rewarded on a higher level.
    heaven is not attained based on points.
    heaven is not attained based on degrees.
    heaven is not attained based on money.
    heaven is not attained based on deeds.
    heaven is not attained based on almost.
    there is no almost heaven.

    Nothing like realities facts and figures; especially with your crushendo, "...there is no almost heaven. Either it is or it is not and in life each one must decide. Good work.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
