My Heaven is Inside My body

My heaven is inside my body,

my heaven is a great many,

like stars in the night sky,

with silver towers,

huge edifices that look like sapphires,

golden palaces, gardens of crystal.

My body is bigger than the universe,

countless gods and angels are my partners,

as if they are countless myself.

Neither time nor life and death in my word,

dawn and dusk are the same name,

and sadness and joy are the same words.
