Looking for Heaven

 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.
