What Heaven Looks Like

I should know what Heaven looks like;
For I've seen it in my dreams.
I've delighted, gazing over
At the stars alight in streams.

As the fish, with smiles upon them,
Flitter freely, whilst up high,
An array of birds soars swiftly
Through the rainbows, in the sky.

I have viewed the cats and rabbits,
I have seen the wagging tails,
And I've witnessed a plethora
Of baboons, raccoons and snails...

I should KNOW what Heaven looks like;
It would seem that's safe to say.
I've observed the creatures blissful,
In a wondrous display!

But my thoughts begin to scare me,
And I pray that I'm
not right,
For my mind presents a problem...

THERE'S NOT A HUMAN BEING IN SIGHT.

    This has some wonderful imagery. You have a way of placing the reader in the picture with you. I surely hope you continue dreaming until the humans show up. I plan to be one of them. Very nice.

    Wow. This is absolutely beautiful. You did a fantastic job describing this. And you're probably right, there are no humans in sight. Awesome, as always, dear David.
    Write on.

    That would be very scary to look around and not a human in sight. I think we do see Heaven when we look at all the creatures that God has created for us to enjoy. This is a delightful read with good imagery. Thank you for the read.

    ouch! But frighteningly true. HUmans are the ones that screwed it all up.
