Totality of Life

Totality of Life

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Totality of Life

 

 

the sojourn continues

learning

has rest stops along the way

but destination unknown

at death,

Eden's gates will open

in welcome

or we will come hard upon

rusted locks

and barren landscape.

dearest Jacob… a Poem for the unbelievable Times we are experiencing… wondering everyday .. why do Innocent Children and young people have to live in Fear… and even the more Mature people live in Constant Fear. Yes, we can Vote… and Pray. Your Poem rests softly in my Soul. Rock of Ages.. Cleft for me 🎶… tenderly, Pat

thank you for your words, Pat,

true fact Heaven is hotter than hell. according to bible, hell in cased in brimstone, which we know the melting point of. Heaven is surrounded by 13 suns, each greater than the one before it. so taking our sun as reference and doing the math...way hotter. Course. could be heaven has a pool while hell has to make do with a sprinkler. which is fine, I grew up without a pool. I also think more or less the class of vacationers in hell is more my kind of people. this got me kicked out of religion class long long ago, because the sister couldn't think of any other rebuttal to my logic

I have a funny feeling that Eden's Gates will have a sign on my arrival, reading "Closed for renovation", with a sign pointing to a door to other destinations, which only leads to a waterside straight to hell. 😊

That would be something...and it might say "clothed" instead of "closed"---that fig leaf thingy.
