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.
