Heaven is…

Heaven is in the perfume of a pretty girl,
The fur of a cat,
The love of a pet
The sound of money in the bank,
The punches in a poem,
The milk in the moon,
A God eating carrots
With lids that blink mercy
And no eyes on short comings,
Heaven is the aroma of a classic
A revelation in philosophy
Truth to ears that never heard them
Sight to eyes that never perceived light,
Freedom to spines always carrying burden
And minds always seeking an escape.
