There is no period
at the end of my life
No end to the sentence
of eternity
unfolding before me
Comma’s are superfluous,,,
not even a pause in my awareness
of them being there
Aha! indeed then
when
it becomes true in my mind’s giant eye
that what I see is seen by all
and what I feel is unified within it
a point of exclamation
in which I see forever
and as I love it
peace comes!
Author notes
My faith is in life. My belief is in life. My being is life.

Having arrived at a perception as the one you described in your poem changes many things in life. It allows to just do anything you feel you need to do without ever having to worry that you will not be able to finish it. Linear time is an inherent part of the illusion, intended to persuade spirits to discard plans when it seems impossible to realize them during what is left of their expectation of their lifespan. Usually these are not trivial matters that require a significant amount of time and are worth the effort of making them come true. Thank you for sharing this insightful poetical message. I hope it will give many cause to ponder and perhaps reconsider their views. Take care,
Chris

to hold onto life and hold it so dear
is something that is great for all of us
but to see that life can come to an end
would be a falsehood
for some have been there and are here still
died but still live
that is the truth of truly living
and life is just a base for it

Thanks for the contest, Riftkin, and the HM that you awarded. It was fun and the entries were interesting.
I must say that your response above is not one I understand, contextually speaking, but I'm sure your intentions with it were good.

I am quite pleased with this one too, Amy. Sometimes I find myself surprised by the words that pop into my brain.
Truly, thank you. It is quite pleasing inside to hear others grasp and enjoy the things I write.

Yes ...
that's it exactly. The ending of one thing is the beginning of another, as we perch on the precipice of existence staring down into the vast well of Eternity.

life is but a series of commas, question marks and exclaimation points. One free verse epic of Love and possibility!
Boy this was a good first read of the day!
Thank you!

Points well spoken
"a point of exclamation
in which I see forever"
Indeed, it is the very exclamation of "I" in which "We Are"... the joyous peace of knowing "I AM!!!"
Write on, brother, write on...
