HEAVEN


Everything was black — my feet and hands cold, as I was freezing to death. Then the blackness started turning into mist, and with the mist came a field with dying flowers and dark clouds. Then I saw a figure at a distance — a ray of sunlight falling on you. You looked at me in an instant. Your brown coffee eyes widened with astonishment, then softened with warm love as you walked towards me. You gave me your brightest smile. And just then — the clouds vanished, and the field covered with every beautiful flower in the world. The warmth of the sunlight spilled across the whole world, calming my soul as your warm hand helped me up. The atmosphere was peaceful — just like they say "heaven." All because your smile was a direct way to heaven.
