Sonnet On the Doubters

(This is called Double Rhyming  Sonnet. The front of
the lines also rhyme abab, etc.)

Oh, who can say when time began or ends?
The universe engulfs all creatures here.
But you can see how sun’s glow ever blends
to moonlight in time’s never ending sphere.
And when you think our world has learned it all,
new cosmic truths emerge to show man’s fate,
so then you realize we are so small. . . . .
but jaws of everlastingness await!
They gape, and though you see no end in sight;
you think that all is finished when we die?
Escape from dreary earth means taking flight.
A wink is time spent here! You won’t deny,
when face to face with God, that life’s not done!
In space of endless grace, it’s just begun.

Incredible double rhyming sonnet, my friend, and a theme that deeply resonates with my soul. In my book, this would earn a #1, but you know me, I love your sonnets. A fave ~ John

I enjoyed reading your poetry today Andrea. May you have a wonderful day full of inspiration. The best to you in John's contest. I am afraid I could never do a Sonnet and for sure never a winner. I love yours though so I will just read and never mind try to write one. Love, Carol

The old saying - "No one gets out of this world alive" just aint true. How about the astronauts? And then, as you say, "When face to face with God, life's not done!" Love, Dave

Really amazing...I am truly impressed, Andrea. This one is special. PS: I can't really write a new poem these days, I have the flu, and I can't write when my head hurts:( Hugs, Emilia
