Nothing

Nothing to view, to see, touch or taste

Over the vast void of darkness, all blank

To grasp in futility, a cold blank space

How mysterious the universe, from nothing began

It was written thus, as God had planned

Not a soul was made, in eternity past

Gone in death, not here, but in heaven at last.

This is beautiful, Laura! It takes a deft hand to write an acrostic with this kind of meaning. That last line is perfect.
