[I finished the poem but don't know its title yet.]

"I have for you many questions,"
but only seek one answer.
Is this a kindred spirit, a fellow-traveller?

"instead I will tell you a secret;"
He bends, and I stand on my toes.
"Heaven is now."

There is but One answer to every question
And I know by your response
that you know it too.

“Heaven is now.”
I do believe you are right.

Getting to now and staying there is a very big thing.

Most people would say that they can do it anytime they want. This may be true, but ask them to do it for a few minutes. The difference between us and angels is those few minutes.

May you and your friend be inseparable.

Yes, heaven is now. But don't stay too long. Too much heaven is not good.

The words of the Secret. Living them out is living true life! :-)

How about "Just Asking" for a title?
(Just an initial flash)

Thanks for your visit to my blog. As you can see this is a new experience for me. I've been content to visit others' , but have decided to join in the "fray" (I thought a fray was a rough edge, as in torn ends, oh well), so to speak.
Your quandry on moving to a wilder place (wilder than Chicago?) may be satisfied by a week at someplace in the deserts of southern Utah. Camp and observe. Take a friend, or just yourself. You may return with renewed purpose and a suntan.
Peace

Oh no, no, no. Live there; no one ever got too much. Jesus got the most, and now he brings to us continually.

Heaven means to love everybody- effectually, and yourself as much as anybody else. Can't get too much of that. That's living!!!

Beautiful poem -- and the title, if there is to be one, will come to you in its due time (although asking is certainly appropriate).

One of the wonders of the internet is finding kindred spirits, fellow-travellers.

How sweet to feel your warmth now blossoming in the world. The world can use this radiant beauty.
Thank you.

"Soulmate" or "Mirror Soul" might work as titles. Your poem awakens the soul.
