I went in search of heaven.
I looked across all lands.
Hills, seas, snow-clad peaks,
Deserts and sand.
I looked across concrete jungles,
And beautiful ruins of the past.
Heaven was far from sight,
Sad, I stopped at last.
Then You smiled at my attempts.
Held my hand and took me there.
A room full of mirrors.
Thousands of reflections.
Millions of You and I.
You looked at my tanned skin,
My weary eyes and bags under them.
Wiser I was, yet not awakened.
You held my hand and whispered with a smile
"There you go, your heaven."
And I looked in deeper to find
That You and I were one in them.
And enlightened I was for
I understood Heaven had been in
Me all along,
So were You.
