The kind schoolteacher, the wayward adolescent, the daring explorer
They are Heaven.
Priests, doctors, painters, lovers
They are Heaven.
Look to your home
To the furnaces that birthed you
Out of chaos came a magnificent being
Fire to flesh, light to life, the greatest metamorphosis
So again I urge you, look to your home!
Your mothers amongst mothers
Look up!
See them as they visit you in the night.
Vessels of time, spanning a vast, black canvas
Vessels from which, your heart and mind were forged
Bathe in their maternal glow. Thank them.
For they bore the beginning of stories, friendship, love, art.
For they made the ultimate sacrifice
For our existence inspired their deaths.
Our connection to the cosmos, like the love of a mother,
Eternal.
So I ask you again,
What are we, if not Heaven?
