Feels like Heaven



If Heaven was a person, it would be you.
Just looking at you, listening to you speak, being close to you.. 
feels like Heaven to me.

If Heaven was a place, it would be right here.
The things I see, the sounds I hear, the way I feel, and what I'm learning here..
feels like Heaven to me.

If Heaven was a moment, it would be right now.
For yesterday is gone, tomorrow is unknown, so all that I can behold is now..
feels like Heaven to me.

If Heaven was love, it would be in me.
Day by day, I'm learning to love the perfection in my flaws; to embrace the good and the bad, the light and the dark, and everything in between.. 
feels like Heaven to me.

About this poem

    Your poem, 'Feels like Heaven' resonated with me deeply. Its simple but profound beauty is captivating and the emotions invoked felt very genuine. Your vivid imagery painted a fantastic and lovely picture of how Heaven can be perceived - in a person, a place, a moment, and within oneself. The simplicity of your language as well resulted in an easily relatable and heartfelt piece.

    The feeling of serenity and love flowing from your words is incredibly touching. I particularly liked the last stanza. The idea of embracing life with all its dualities, of learning to love our flaws as well as our strengths is a powerful message.

    Your poem did a wonderful job of turning abstract notions into digestible and relatable scenarios. The overall tone is hopeful, encouraging and inspiring which is sure to connect with many readers.

    As for suggestions, you could perhaps delve a bit deeper into each scenario using metaphors, similes, or personification, to add more layers and further engage the readers' emotions. Also, adding some rhythmic or rhyming elements could enhance the overall flow and coherence of the poem. Secondly, you might consider exploring other scenarios or facets of life where Heaven might be found. This could broaden the themes and make the poem even more relatable to a wider audience.

    Overall, 'Feels like Heaven' is an evocative poem bursting with positivity and warmth. It radiates an inner peace that leaves the reader reflective and hopeful. Keep writing and continue sharing your inspirational insights. Well done!
