The Empty Poem
Spacious heaven levitated above clouds
I follow up to meet my god
Doors open as it seems to welcome
I enter to drink the sacred wine
For there's knowledge to be planted
I search, and search for my lord...
Yet no table seems to be readied
No chairs set up to meet me
His majesty...nowhere to be found
Is heaven empty
Or am I alone?
I follow up to meet my god
Doors open as it seems to welcome
I enter to drink the sacred wine
For there's knowledge to be planted
I search, and search for my lord...
Yet no table seems to be readied
No chairs set up to meet me
His majesty...nowhere to be found
Is heaven empty
Or am I alone?

I love poems with few words that speak volumes. Lovely dear poet.

Your poem can also be a reflection of the fear people have about not knowing what the afterlife holds, regardless of their religion or lack thereof.
Great poem you've written; well done!

the most empty feeling to be separate from the original poet...wonderful perception in this...

Crystal, I love the imagery and story in this piece...I can picture showing up for a much anticipated meal with the Lord and he doesn't show. Maybe you got there too early. Brava!
