I wonder if they’ve noticed
there’s a hole in paradise –
and all that choose
to walk across
shall tread immortal skies.
I wonder if they’ve noticed
the golden
turning green –
where grass uprooted pavement
and oceans pushed between.
I wonder if they’ve noticed
angels are come
to earth
and all we’ve wanted lingers
within this chosen birth.
I wonder if they’ve noticed
the freedoms in letting go –
how loving arms
shall bring us in
beyond the world we know.
I wonder if they’ve noticed ~
always is growing
still –
to strain against
the seams of time –
the essence of our will.
I wonder – how I wonder
whether heaven is here or there –
how much
of all we long to touch ~
is found in love we share.

The sentiments sweetly spokent daily from my heart…you words have perfected a masterpiece! Thanks Bobbie for always sharing!
And thank you, Wendell for always understanding words that are written by the heart (and soul). ~ Much love, Bobbie
This is absolutely beautiful, Bobbie — sublime thoughts on life, love, eternity, and heaven, cradled in the lovely arms of rhythm and rhyme. Totally uplifting!
Thank you so much, Dee. This is an older piece that I wanted to revisit before posting……maybe if for no other reason than to incorporate another day’s understanding into the mix. I’m so glad you like it. Love you… ~ Bobbie
Really complex and sensitive, Bobbie. Provokes a lot of thoughts about the eternity of now. And, as you say, how much of heaven is found in the love we share with those who share our lives each day.
xo….. Paul
…some would say more than heaven, more than life ~ or the reason for both is love. ~ xoxo Bobbie
Really enjoyed this concept and again a strong opening… There’s a hole in paradise – ain’t that so sometimes?! Xx
I think it’s true most of the time………….but whether we see is all a matter of how we train our heart and how we train our eyes………. 🙂 Thanks, Vanessa. ~ Love to you, Bobbie

You touch a chord in me with this… very much my kind of poem. James.
Oh, James, I’m so glad………. I suspect I understand why, but what matters is that you find a part of you in this piece and a truth you recognize in the words. Thank you so much. ~ My love ~ B
