Heaven & Hell
by Robert F Martin → (All Poetry by Robert F Martin)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Heaven and Hell exist, but not in the simplistic, middle-ages stereotypes most people know. Heaven is no exclusive country club up in the sky guarded by Saint Peter, nor is Hell an eternal lake of fire. They exist for everyone in the Here and Now, and we create them for ourselves every day of our lives.

Heaven & Hell
Are not far away
They are always with us
Here and Now

Heaven & Hell
Have no shape
No existence
Outside our head

Heaven & Hell
Are to the soul
As Joy and Sorrow
Are to man

Hell
A life of Misery
Inflicting pain and liking it
Of being miserable

Heaven
A life of Joy
Not of the ego
But of the soul

Heaven & Hell
We create for ourselves
By our own actions
Past and present

I agree! You can't see hate but you know it is there. You can't see Love but you know it when you fall in!

Peace & Love,

It is very simple and that's the best way to express such a profound truth. Some of our best teachers have kept it simple. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing it.
