Hold me Earth Hold me Tight I am Eternity In essence In Time I am yours Hold me Lover Friend Till the past is Forgotten and i rise again The very deep did rot: O Christ! |

this holds an essence of truth. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Personally, I am registered for cremation. Can't stand the thought of being hemmed in like that. But I understand your poem's message. We sleep until the resurrection. There are no worries nor sufferings nor pains during that sleep. So some view it as a time of rest and if in extreme agonizing pain, such as the biblical lot was in, some may even long for it. Job 14:13 "If only you would hide me in the grave [ 14:13 Hebrew [ Sheol ] ] and conceal me till your anger has passed! If only you would set me a time and then remember me! Enjoyed! God bless! Thanks for sharing! |

I like what you did poeticaly ..... the brevity, the descriptiveness ....but I don't know that our beliefs coincide. ... and they sent him home happy ... one hundred percent. |

The construct of this is clever---it falls down the page like shovels of earth-- and I adore the spirituality in this piece, WP... |

The nicety of poetry....the ability to express one's own feelings and thoughts... Done well, thanx.. |
