We Are Here

by Laine P. Grey

I clung to his feathers and whispered in his ear: Take me to heaven.

He flew to the clouds and turned to me. We are here.

I went to the spaceship and whispered in its ear: Take me to heaven.

He flew to the stars and turned to me. We are here.

I opened my book and whispered in its ear: Take me to heaven.

With a sigh, it opened its pages. We are here.

    Oh, ,that was lovely, really lovely. I kid of like the idea of this endless search for heaven, experiencing it through the eyes of others, and going right on searching. At least, that’s what I took from it.

    Very nice repetition. Basically, a short, sweet little ficlet. I also like your comparison between the three seemingly unrelated things.
