I am just thinking to myself ...
I am just thinking that John Lennon said,
'Imagine there's no heaven ...' But I am thinking
'Imagine there is ...'

A place where the buses run on time,
and women walk safe after dark.
Where eating chocolate reduces cholestrol,
smoking is relaxing but doesn't cause harm,
and you can't get headaches or hangovers.

I am thinking of a place where nurses earn as much as
company chairmen, policemen are liked
but not really necessary, and teachers do not
want to be anything else. Where children run
multinationals for fun, and grown-ups are sent to bed
every time they are rude.

A place where you can be busy if you want to be,
but you can buy extra time when you need it
from an Extra Time Shop. A place where
you can go to sleep when you are tired -
deep, deep sleep so you wake up feeling like you have
had a life transfusion - like your life has been heated up.

I am thinking of a place where nobody notices
their nakedness, and species are not endangered.
Where you have got all shapes and sizes ...
but no great or small. Where people meet you and do
not even notice your bone structure, or your
color, because they are so struck by your soul.
Where they hear your spirit not your accent,
and everyone knows that everyone is only a mere immortal.

You will not have to pray because you can talk.
There is no need for churches, mosques, or temples ...
and God will not be a rumor because
He will have a front door.
No one tells you how to live your life because no one needs to.
There will be no streets of gold or pearly gates,
no matching thrones, no regrets.
But a place where every time you bump into a
why you can find a because.

Words like love and hope and peace will not be bad language.
But some words will not be able to be spelled at all ...
fear, poverty, pain, death ... because these words will come
from an ancient language no longer understood,
occasionally studied, but never spoken.

I am imagining a place called heaven.
A place where you can climb
through the air on wings like eagles,
and run but never get tired.

Just imagine ...
