Heaven is here, today

My world got brighter My load got lighter And that is something worth writing poetry about… You can write your list of how life’s a bitch But don’t forget the asterisk Because for all the times you went through shit, It fertilized a lot of gifts So the next time you forget how blessed you be Take a moment and focus on the next breath you breath And notice, you’re right here with me You were once one of 200 million sperms, You just happened to get there first So how could ever say you’re cursed? You’ve been blessed since before your birth And you might not think you have it best But it could definitely be worse If you don’t believe that yet, Go tell the deaf what you just heard If you don’t like what you see, Go tell the blind how much it hurts I’m not saying that life’s fair or that’s it’s easy, We all go through a lot But as you walk through the valley of shadow of death, Don’t lose gratitude for the fact that you walk Celebrate the fact that you can dance and sing Embrace the abundance in the very act you talk This life is the only one you’ve got And there are people who would trade places with you without a second thought If you haven’t yet found the love of your life, I suggest you keep on digging And allow yourself to feel your way Through all the hurt and all the rage And as you feel, Allow yourself to finally turn the page That’s how we heal And it might hurt like hell But you’ll have shown us we’ll be okay to feel it all And still love life That’s heaven Can you feel it?
