Eternity

It is in our thoughts we hope to live on forever
How clever we seem to think this way of not knowing
Everyone of us has a different version of the story called eternity
This diversity is what makes life an ongoing rhapsody
That is the only way we can keep our sanity
If not, we will all fall into the fathomless abyss of lifelessness
Sweet heavenly bliss, come and give me a hug and a kiss
I need to know that life does not have a quietus
That we do continue in an afterlife
Some way, somehow
We will live on forever

You have written about a subject near and dear to my own heart, and it makes sense. Life is about the feelings inside.

The last stanza makes the poem exactly RIGHT!

Well done; and telling. I believe you have nailed the feeling we all have that we need to know that we continue in an afterlife.
