As hourglass sand continues its descent To mark all moments of the passing days I question what existence truly meant As I begin to enter final phase. Be there a God in Heaven who awaits As scholars deem to indicate is true? Angelic figures stationed at the gates To give warm welcome as life bids adieu? Or do the facts deny the lessons taught? Can it be true there is no soul to save, That everything we strive for is for naught, Condemned to cease existence at the grave? Confessing not to know what death contains My hope for everlasting life remains. |

Balladeer, Mine too. But saving this shell and its limited possibilities makes no sense to me. Beautiful poem. |

~*As I begin to enter final phase*~ You're 80 already???  Seriously I wouldn't know what's beyond the door. I think I just want to rest in peace and keep my spirit with me. Beautiful sonnet though a HUG and a KNUFFEL and a CUDDLE too Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

  BRAVO!!! Oh Balladeer, this is wonderful, there are so many thought-provoking questions indeed in these words and I know with all my heart only God knows why, though you are bound to find this everlasting life in you! (big huggsssssss) This is powerful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

’Deer dearest heart oh my this is utterly utterly wonderful, your pen is perfectly poetical. I love I love it utterly utterly And this is so spectacular, gently softly reverential. The questing thought that is eternally unknown, but for some faith is enough and this is life affirming. This is exquisite darling heart, absolutely exquisite. Sometimes you drop pearls of wisdom into quiet pools of wonder, and the ripples across that silent pool of thought reach out to another soul, this is such a time. Utterly breathtakingly perfect. Thank you for this beauteous gift You know I love this don’t you? Of course you do. Absolutely perfect writing   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

You heard her! It's a perfect sonnet. And by the way...you will live forever to be the spokesperson for Spam I am sure, and I will be also here for the "hereafter long haul" just to remind you it has flies in it! Imagination is more important that knowledge |
