And some people believe that after death, we will live eternally in either a beautiful heaven or a dreadful hell.

I believe they exist in all aspects of life.

"Heaven" can be anything
you set your mind to,
from receiving a quarter
for a lost tooth,
to walking through the gates of something so magnificent, our dreams have not yet experienced
something so beautiful.

"Hell" as well could be frightening
like the feeling one gets while watching a horror film,
or so inconceivably repulsive, our worst nightmares have never brought something so horrid
to our "peaceful" minds.

I have visited heaven, you know,
and hell as well.

A psychotic feeling:
one minute, I was flying high in and out if the stars, as carefree and happily as one could imagine.
the next, I was burning alive...
unsure of what or whom was capable of killing me in such a fast and brutal instant.

They say you will never know what's coming at you until it hits you:
it hit me too hard.

and how is it possible to feel so alive as you are walking around dead?

You and I soared through the surreal wonders of heaven,
my oh my, was it beautiful.
-
but no amount of beauty could cure the burns I have on my body from the countless times you forced me to walk through hell.
