I wonder what heaven looks like. I wonder this as an atheist. Is it space, sailing among stars? Is it merely a concept, eternally to be determined, determined by fate? Is it the feeling you get when you forget and then remember the best day of your life? Is it not life after death, is it a place on earth? Is it a person? Is it you?
Posted in response to the challenge Wonder.
penetrating the walls, invading my space,
comes the sound.
it chases me, finds me, leaves me with no place to hide.
searching for the source, I face the noise,
I found it was easier to forget than to hold on,
a relief to consider myself free.
I never could’ve realized how suffocating it was to chase thrills,
the night, smooth as silk, wraps me in a warm embrace
the heat of the moment takes me by surprise,

Gentle musings of the heart! I love this little piece. That you're able, absence religion, to reimagine heaven entirely for yourself is a beautiful thing (and I don't mean that in a condescending way in the slightest). The thought of heaven as a memory you can return to, of the best day of your life maybe, as you suggest, is very moving and struck a chord with me.
Thank you so much!!!
