I drove to heaven today.

I drove into it. I waited patiently
five minutes the light lasted.

A one lane into heaven,
and one lane out.

Some people were alone in their cars.
Some were a whole family.

It seems only few were rejected.
Only few cars passed,
while I waited patiently for that tunnel light.

Single filed we drove and it grew dark with light
only evenly spaced out above us.

No one was biking into heaven today.
The light at the end of the tunnel
gradually became brighter, and more
beautiful.

It was a quiet and peaceful drive.
I knew where I was going.

I parked my car where I could find room.
Heaven seemed cramped.
There ought to have been a carpool/bus system.

I got out and strolled.
I had my flip flops and blazer on.
I was ready.
I walk towards the beach.
There is no fog.

The water is clearer than before.
It was beautiful out.
I just stared out into the distance.
there were surfers not surfing
very well.
but no one seemed to mind.
People were laughing and giggling
but there was no sound.
Only the sound the waves made in the distance.


I knew we were all going to be let in soon
The 'sun' was setting and
a storm seemed to block the way of the sun
as it grew slightly dimmer
and the faces grew darker
I decided I ought to leave.
Not because I did not want to go to Heaven
but I know nothing else
other than this life.

No one paid any attention to me.
And those who were rejected
their cars had left.

The parking lot empty.
I drove a different path and waited.
5 minutes for the light to turn again.

5 minutes to go into the tunnel
and back to earth.
