WHERE IS HEAVEN ?
WHERE IS HEAVEN ?
Grudge, how awful you become
when you make a heart your home.
You the throne of God destroy,
source of love and greatest joy.
God makes man's heart His own throne,
where his love is fully grown,
building heaven from the flesh,
which becomes love's holy creche.
Heaven dwells inside my heart,
and endows me greatest height.
Love is kept in secure place
where the Child can lie in peace.
Highest skies, you are just void.
Heaven can't be in that world.
Heaven's where whom l adore
nestles in the depth of core.

Very dear Tig,
Your comments helps me a lot. They tell me if my ideas are within the Christian theology. Thank you very much.

What a lovely poem, Joseph! I remember learning in religion class that our bodies are God's sacred temples, hence we should treat them with respect.
Nice work!

Correct me if I am wrong, but are you really intent to say, as a literal reading of your lines makes you do, that God's throne, heaven, God's love, and the baby Jesus all dwell at once in your heart?
And what is a "depth of core"?
