The Unmade Bed

The Unmade Bed

Who are you looking forward to seeing?

Do you have someone?

One that you have lost,

Or have yet to meet?

What will you say?

It’s all too personal

But is it ever enough?

Where are you right now?

Heaven or hell?

The earth gives us a glimpse of both...

To make our judgment clear for when we come to be judged on our integrity.

Here on earth most seek the truth instead of faith..............................

The one you love can be sick.

They might be dying,

Or dead while you’re still walking.

Utterly convinced we know the best action for love ones

And the unknown,

While utterly unconvinced that we can also be the love ones or the unknown.

Seeing the end from the beginning with or without a meaning.

You have to sleep to get better they say,

But some of us are restless.

A sleepless disaster!

Why?

Because death is to be asleep...

Nicely said sweet sin. Very deep and questions we all ask. :)

Thank you for reading Sereena, you're the best!

I liked this a lot! I would suggest something to you: maybe split these up into two poems right before "the unmade bed" line is repeated. These two sections would be great poems in and of themselves!

[sinNsincerity]

Yes, that does make more sense to do so.
Thank you for pointing it out to me!

This is a very intelligent work David :)
A great write. From the beginning to the end the numerous questions you asked and the way you carved the end saying we all will still remain alive even after we die its so clever and crafty. Fabulous :)

"Because death is to be asleep.
The unmade bed.
When you die you don’t go to heaven nor hell.
You go to sleep."
I love this so much. So true.

to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord
you go to heaven,there is 7 parts and enoch say`s ten if you are hell bound not sure where you go
a great write,when you arise every morning be prepared to leave my friend
there`s nothing here but struggles

[sinNsincerity]

Sure is a struggle word man, but the lord by our side, it's alright.
Thank you for reading my friend!
