Door To Heaven Is Not Too Far Poem by Arun Maji

Door to heaven is not too far
You walk past that door every day.

Look at the face of your baby-
Yes, that's the garden of Eden
With its indescribable beauty.

Look at the eyes of your beloved-
Yes, that's the abode of moon
With serenity engraved in its wall.

Watch the dance of flowing river.
While divinity plays tune of joy
River dances relentlessly.

O human
Why you turn simple to complex?
Joy to grief? Blessing to curse?
Why can't you just sit back and experience-
Birds singing to you,

Rain dancing to you,
Flower smiling to you?

Door to heaven is not too far.
And you already got the key
That opens that door.

Yes, it's your own little heart
That opens door of heaven.
