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?

love cannot be created or destroyed.
like energy
it shape shifts
following those filled with passion
and hope
but appearing to leave
at the slightest touch of pain
She wakes in the early morning
And stares at the wall across from her
A sense of fear overtakes her
Beginning in the pit of her stomach
And spreading to each limb
Coating her in feeling
you are every eyebrow raise
every smile
frown
and concealed smirk
you can't help but show
on your canvas of a face
when observing you

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!!!
