If This Might Be Heaven

By :  . Mercedes Teves Goñi   Poet 

To all I loved and to those I could have loved some

More,

Farewell. I go to a place much written off, but never seen before.

If you can’t see me for the last time now, -don’t fret-I’ll understand somehow

If you never told me you loved me then,

Tell me, I’m still listening now.

The music here is endless, so poignant it leaves me breathless

Iridescence I always loved surrounds me everywhere,

Joyous laughter, happy tears here and there.

I need not wear my slippers anymore

Lilies-of-the valley carpet all the fields I explore.

Fireflies I used to look for when darkness would fall

Now come dancing all around me at my every beck and call.

And with each early evening’s shade of blue that I always loved so

I’ll be kissing all of you,

So you need not miss me so.

If this might be heaven, don’t hinder me anymore

Willingly, I go towards HIS dome

Because it looks like a place I can happily call Home.
