EARTH AND HEAVEN
S. Samal
Heaven is the goal
and eternal
lure for all
each wants
to attain
and enact
Heaven on Earth
but paths endless
and routes diverse
for some, it is wealth,
love, fame and power
devotion and prayer
for others
it is drinking
feasting.
dancing, singing
sporting, fishing
travelling
or sight-seeing
But Heaven
is always Heaven
unreachable and elusive
beyond the palm of
earthly man.
