Flash of Light

Flash of light that split the sky, illuminated Heaven a couple of seconds. That mortal eye could glimpse the wonder. In the night,this is so, I've seen lightning,but one bolt, that divided darkness, shone light beyond the sky, provided a glimpse unto my eyes, mind and to my soul,that Heaven is so. The Lords home,this is true, will dwell on earth with me and you. So is written: "Thy kingdom come,thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven" Todd J.Caudill

To best see the light one must stand in shadow

What if heaven is under the hat and below the belt, Todd? In heaven will you look like you did when you died, when you were born, or when you thought you looked your best in highschool. Perhaps you will be a ball of preaching lightning for us to follow into your simplified evangelical program. I've never seen so many people in one place convinced that heaven is a country buffet with domesticated lions, tigers and bears, and everyone looking their Sunday best. I'll bring my 'crock of shit pot' and bingo card. See you there.

What, exactly, did you see??? What does your poem talk about???

In a sudden flash of lightning I realized there is a heaven.

How? Why? Explain yourself. Not in the comments, but in the poem.

Glimpse the wonder of letting your imagination come up with some scenarios.
