A Touch of Heaven
Creg Effs 2022 (Kingston)
Who said there’s no Heaven here on Earth?
Who said you can’t experience paradise while you’re alive?
I know this isn’t a dream
a picture perfectly painted and coming to reality
smiles, laughter,
dancing with glee,
bonding as if super glued
sweet, tranquil moments
as the cool breeze blows from the sea
and everyone becomes oblivious to the warmth from the sun shining brightly in all its glory
don’t tell me this paradise I’m living in
isn’t Heaven
because what else could it be like in this life?
Serenity in front of my wide, open eyes.
A blissful paradise.
This ocean coral which springs with such life, is my Garden of Eden.
About this poem
This piece was inspired while I was enjoying a piece of paradise here in Jamaica called Ocean Coral Springs.
