Heaven

In this poem, the concept of heaven is described from the point of view which angels might adopt. Also, how would they perceive our world below?

In heaven the angels sing,

pluck their harps,

and flap their wings,

 

Blessings fall to those below,

mere mortals,

with lost souls,

where no angel would seek to go,

 

And so they stay in heaven,

archangels and their brethren,

come what may,

they will not stray,

 

From helping people

night or day,

during the dark,

or a misty haze,

 

Sometimes they marvel,

at sparkling seas,

and crystal fountains,

they love to tease,

 

And play amongst the snowy peaks,

of mountains great,

or hills so steep,

such natural beauty they hope to keep,

 

Not waste their time,

while mortals sleep,

their zest for life,

shall never cease.....

A beautiful poem and a beautiful sentiment. Getting a very pleasant and peaceful feel with this. Excellent description.

When I read this, I see a glimpse of heaven and a feeling of triumph from these angels that bask in their desire to do good, to help others and a sense of self awareness that they posses that a lot of the world has yet to achieve.

I love this poem because of the serene simplicity and the joy I get from reading this piece.

Great job as always, Twilight.

Really well written. The rhyming doesn't supress the creativeness and fluidity of the poem. Very well written.

This is lovely. I personally always pictures angels playing harps in heaven, so I LOVED that you said that :P. This is so mysterious but so hopeful, and I just love it, I don't even know what specifics to say I just.. loved it!

:D Thanks for sharing
