No, heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love's completely real, so forget anything that you've heard
And live for the moment now

Between summer mornings and
sweet spring rain
they stepped
into love
a light
in which winter gardens thawed
from their grey blue nights
as though freezing cold snow
was a dream for the year
and now
flower season
blossoms
the fruit of life

I think that this poem was absolutely brilliant. I loved the flow of every line into the next, and the imagery was so real. 

You're an amazing writer :)
