Heaven on Earth

The Attainable Kingdom


Heaven, Spiritual Realm
Our Father's kingdom,
it is a dream, and it is real;
but I'm not dreaming,
 I just wanted to be near. 

Some people are easy and simple,
they are not the kind who dream 
there could be more.
Strange, weird, and indifferent,
although they always pray,
 never had asked God 
for any misery's cure.
 They were told
and it stayed in their heads
that as God knows 
the number of one’s hair,
 He knows what truly last forever;
and only fools would ask for
the least and no value
even though the essential is set
ready and winnable.

Dream has no limit
so I would rather be a dreamer,
who is detached and uncontrolled;
  a vagabond or a wandering drifter,
who is easy but clearly understood
that the un-lucky is not simple,
 if he knew that nothing
on earth is without a limit
and God’s Kingdom
is not in this pool.

Heaven is for everyone,
for the poor and for the sinner,
for the most fallen, for the hopeless,
for those men among the least;
clearly, for someone like me,
for an indifferent nutshell,
who is a believer of heaven,
but who doesn't believe
that it’s for him to achieve.

O Certainly,
God is merciful,
His reasons are unknown;
His confidential friends,
 His loving servants,
are his heart and soul;
whom I was allowed to labor
to somehow be able to perceive,
to feel the sweetness of their compassion,
and to experience their simplicity;
 and to believe that I can be like them,
that even I can dream their dream,
that their dreams are not unreachable;
that they are beings like me,
and I can be like them:
simple, honest, loving,
truthful, friendly, caring;
all the sweet things
 I’d hoped and dreamed
I can be.

And when they left,
when they went back
 to that loving Kingdom,
they've left a glaring torch,
a light that explains a way,
 a path that leads to an open door,
that waits for a voice to call,
 open arms that longed for embrace;
O long my heart craves for its caress,
but long my desires deny,
for the mind is restless,
weak, and easily swayed by
the allurement of whims,
by my weakness,
by the meanness
of my own betrayal
of myself.

And where shall I find mercy,
when all was asked of me
 is a willing heart to follow;
but I refuse to obey.
