MARC'S MEMOS

6-11-10

I posted poems from other poets on my blog the last two times, but couldn't help myself and decided to post one of my own. I also entered it in the July Poetry contest. I am a glutton for punishment, although nobody has posted anything mean or negative. Apparently I don't know when to quit, even though I know I don't stand a chance of winning. Here is my entry.

ETERNITY

Where do we go
When we leave this place
Will there be a void
Where we occupied space

Do we stay earth bound
Or escape to the sky
Watching from heaven
As the world passes by

Imagine there’s no heaven
As John Lennon said
Nothing but ashes
Long after we’re dead

No matter your culture
Or which faith you belong
Those many religions
Can’t all be wrong

There must be more to it
A place more sublime
And I hope to go there
When it comes my time

UNTIL NEXT TIME, TAKE CARE! MARC
