Thoughts On Infinity

Thoughts On Infinity

Infinity comprises that endless empyrean reach of a 
True continuous nature far beyond mankind’s ability 
To truly comprehend and appreciate the sheer magic
Of the true enchantment and beauty of Almighty God’s
Kingdom of everlasting peace, love, and devotion.

Infinity is beyond all time, space, matter, and destination.
It is bounded by a mystical aura of a true divine cosmic
Perfection created by the heavenly design and intention
Of God Himself as He has made His revelatory overtures
To each of us for our eventual spiritual transformation.

Infinity oft bespeaks stark images of an endless cosmic vortex,
Punctuated by planets, stars, black holes, comets, and star dust;
When it realistically may be more of a perfected state of a true
Self-awareness and an accentuated level of consciousness that
Transcends mankind’s finite level of reality and understanding.

One day when each of us reach the end of our mortal coil on 
This Earth, we shall, in turn, make that final storied leap to the
Heavens as our souls begin their cosmic ascension to God’s 
Kingdom, and shall arrive at their ultimate state holy bliss into
The embrace and eternal love of Almighty God Himself.

Hello WW, I truly appreciate your read here and your comments too!! I've written about a number of metaphysical themes over the course of time I've been posting my works to Poetry Soup. Although the tenor of the theme remains largely the same, I always come up with new thoughts and words to express my viewpoint on this always complex subject. Best Wishes Always, Gary
