What about heaven? Whats in it for me?
No Body No work no need to sleep
Is this the way forward to set oneself free
See I quite like the orderly life that I keep

Can I dream about heaven ? well actually NO!
No Cars Ships or Airplanes no fun to travel
Just floating in space with no real place to go
Who cares about mysteries yet to unravel?

In my mind I have freedom to dream as I wish
Where anything’s possible all can be funny
Life here down on earth life can also is bliss
In buying your fancy and spending your money

To float about singing is not my real aim
Even with old friends for what it is worth
Without their bodies it will not be the same
Just a “Good Memory” of “Life Down on Earth”

Thank you for the smiles you induced with this "floating about singing".

Sometimes when we are particularly happy down here, we get a feeling of total bliss and can't imagine loosing the source of this happiness (be it a love bond, something delicious we eat, the joy of children, the incredible beauty of this world, etc.).

I think it's good we don't actually know what will happen. Funny, also James Michael speaks about this theme in his latest post. He sees it like a state of perfection and perfection includes all the things we love, I guess ...

Singing and floating might just stand for true bliss. I am sure it will be an overwhelming surprise and beyond anything we dare to imagine ...

Thank you for this great poem, which made me smile, yes, but also think.

Love,
Margherita

~ Hmm, you may have a point there! Earth bodies can be whole lot more fun to play with than heavenly ones! lol

Smiles and hugs.

If that is the case, as long as you take your mind with you when you go surely heaven will be what you make it?????

Actually, I have my mind and freedom as such now “In addition” to an Earthly Body (or two). I am not ready for downshifting……. I KNOW You will now tell me spirits can have substance….. Well got that covered too… my spirits here have substance…at least till the bottle is empty… Mines a Brandy
