. Nothing In Heaven Poem by Mary Havran

. Nothing In Heaven

Rating: 4.3


Nothing
I mean not a Thing
Literally
No Things
Can You Imagine
That lack
Of Things?

Everything on the Earth
Stays on the Earth
Or under earth
If that be your preference
But nothing
Not one thing
Gets packed

No Things in Heaven
Let me say it
One more time
Not
One
Thing

Only you
And the memory
Of everyone
You ever loved
And every moment
Lived, but not
Lived for the love
Of Things

Can you dig that kind of Thing?

I know some ladies who would say 'If I can't shop, I'm not coming.' Me, I'll be peeking round the gate to see if any animals have made it, because if some of my best dogs ain't there I'm not coming either. We Taoists have our yea and we have our nay! Love this Mary. Regards ~ Res
