We always wonder where heaven lies,
searching an eternity but never found.
But there is a stairway to heaven,
leading deep into the earth itself.

Anguish unheard by mortal ears,
a heaven that is also a hell.
Where life and death come together,
the original place of origin.

Where all life begins and all life ends,
this heaven is closer to the underworld.
Where no one can escape their fate,
after death comes judgment.

The devious are punished,
while the just are rewarded.
Hades’ wrath reserved for the wicked,
creating ultimate suffering.

Beautiful and horrid at the same time,
where we all must arrive in the end.

It started out as prose, then became a poem, became prose again and ended as poetry. Still changed the original sentence to form a better sense of rhythm, but it's still open and not bound by rules, rather than the words themselves.

(hope this is in the right category)

This is a poem that was once very very different, but I lost the original, but still liked the idea, I hope I will find the other one sometime though, maybe compare them.

*edit* this is not my actual religious belief

It is a wonderful description of life after death and so on. Though, being agnostic, I don't believe in that kind of stuff but you said it very well. I have a great liking for greek mythology so using Hades really appealed to me.
I love it even though I believe that "heaven and hell" are what the person questioning them makes them and in my Native beliefs we all will see each other again in in the after life so as for heaven or hell I can not say if there truly is a place like that or not but I like the poem very much so thank you

Honestly, I have no idea whether heaven or hell really exist, it would be a nice idea to have just heaven ;) but we will all see once it's our time. Not a moment before it seems.

This idea is mostly based on the Greek underworld. *points to Hades* I'm glad you like it.

Hehe, well I have to admit these aren't my beliefs either, I'm agnostic as well, but I still like the image that it presents to me.
