[hometext] => My view that Heaven and Hell are here on earth.
[bodytext] => Heaven ..... We speak of doves and cherubims Of angels chanting mystic hymns With shimm`ring, swirling mists of night Enshrouding souls in heav`nly flight Then wait in hope that all shall find Eternal peace for humankind - Beyond the stars, this holy place We think to gaze upon His face Yet here, in life, my soul is real Within this heart, to love, to feel The splendour of man`s richest prize The gift of life, where here it lies It`s not beyond, but `neath the skies Reflected in two lovers` eyes It lingers in their tender kiss Within their arms, entwined in bliss It`s present in each flow`ring rose In every living thing that grows Embracing every baby`s birth It`s not above, it`s here on earth And if you look, you`ll see it clear Within the things you hold most dear Pervading every kindly deed That satisfies each human need It`s not a far and distant place Reserved for those bestowed with grace Immersed in every single breath It`s found in life, not after death And Hell ..... The serpent lies in wait, we fear The pangs of death, e`er drawing near For those whose lives have not been pure This place, accursed, they must endure Set deep within the earth`s sweet light We speak of hell`s eternal night Engulfing all possessed of sin So dark, this evil place within Yet through this broken heart, I know It`s not some place that lurks below It`s here in life, in every cry In every tear, in every lie It`s found in every human pain O`er every evil deed to reign Concealed in all the things we fear It`s not beneath the earth, but here You`ll find it in each starving child, Within each living thing defiled By man`s foul deeds, it lingers on `Til every spark of truth is gone And Satan`s gift sure has a price The cost is pain and sacrifice Of love, of joy, of peace divine In eyes so blind, no more to shine The devil`s fires don`t burn beneath The earth, you`ll find no gnashing teeth - War-torn children will tell you well Where lash the raging flames of hell!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
