Love Poem: Heaven a Life of Forever

Heaven a Life of Forever

not just a dream, but heaven.
    songs of merry
      throughout and upward heaven
        in the inland garden,

luscious lavender hills,
    dipped in flickering
      white mountain caps
        I sit near the river's edge,

bathing in the brilliant sunshine
    whilst my feet splash
      the blue mirrored hedge
        watching the swirls

on the depthless water,
    the in and out of bees, butterflies,
      and hummingbird flutter
        to savor the nectar

from the chalice
    of fragrance of flowers.
      smelling the wild spray
        of dandelions, tiger lilies, bearberries

in the calm melody of dance
    as the breeze weaves
      through trees
        and upon green blade

of the herbal sweet sedge,
    whilst children in lively play.
      a life of forever,
        no death or suffering, 

    but 
      love.
