Sponsor Edward Ibeh Contest Name Pick-A-Title, Vol 37 17th June 2023

There are few things cannot be fused today. Even the impossible, there always is a way. Whenever two things, we need them to meet. We find a way, even if it’s a miraculous feat. Something that humans are yet to achieve. Is a phenomenon that’s very hard to believe. There is a wide chasm that so many dread. It’s the gulf between the living and the dead. Clairvoyants and soothsayers all have tried. None really have contacted those that died. Have some really seen ghosts and a spirit? Did they actually get up close and near it? Have they returned from Heaven back to earth, Or souls roaming this planet round its girth? Spirits not yet, been to Heaven they wait Searching this world in vain for Heaven's Gate? It’s not a bridge that He wants us to build. So we could visit Heaven whenever we willed. So apart from us seeing a ghost or phantasm. Heaven to earth is an Unbridgeable Chasm.

So very thought provoking. Yes, there is an unbridgeable chasm between Heaven and earth....! The gulf between the living and the dead, will it ever be bridged? ! Congratulations SV on your well deserved win.

I hope not, it would be weird to just go over a bridge and visit heaven for the day and then go back. I don't think our Lord ever had that in mind. Thank you for your congratulations Valsa

Excellent writing, thought provoking... I believe that only God knows the way to build a bridge. Lovely words. God bless you. Love, Gina

Thank you Gina, I dont think He considered a thoroughfare between Heaven and earth. The soul's jouney is one way and only by His invitation. Definately unbridgable. Thank you for reading and commenting on the poem, with such lovely words.

Duty of one is to guide us ti heaven after death, GREAT poem! sally

Hi Sally, as of a few weeks ago I now have a rod and a weiird looking titanium aparartus in my arm so my wrist can bend, so I understand a small part of what you have been through with your spine. I know some do see ghosts, but have they made it to heaven yet ? There is definitely a path for souls to reach Heaven, but I dont think there will ever be a two way bridge for free passage to all when ever they want to use it. Its an interesting subject. Glad you liked my poem.

Dear Speaks, I admire the thoughtful impact of your beautiful poem delivered in the poetic frame of wonderful verses and rhymes. Your inspiring comparison between the physical and the spiritual and the chasm between the two is intriguing. I often wonder about "the gulf between the living and the dead". Splendid poetry! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan P.S. thank you for your visit to my poem I Died. I left my response to your comments there this morning. My apologies for my late reply to your lovely comments

I remember that I must have read at least 100 poems that day Susan, and yours just shined like a beacon in the night. It struck me with immense admiration. So glad it gained the recognition it deserved. Thank you for your lovely comment on this poem. How wonderful it would be if those that passed had mobile phones that could reach us. Alas I just dont think God planned for that to happen in his vast scheme of things.

If I make my reader think, there is always the chance that they will read into it better than what I wrote ! Thank you Eve for your lovely comment.

My friend SV, your poem is truly magnificent. The comparison you made between heaven and earth being an unbridgeable chasm is thought-provoking. Your use of vivid imagery and sophisticated language adds an exquisite layer of beauty to an already stunning piece. Your persuasive tone sets the foundation for constructive dialogue, even in the face of an insurmountable divide. Let us strive for harmony and find ways to bridge the unbridgeable.

I steadfastly believe in a path that the souls of those who have ceased living, follow to heaven. I dont believe there should be a bridge that the living would be able to cross to enter the pearly gates and look around, visit for a while and then cross back over the bridge back to their usual lives. Agreed one man did it, but I dont think He needed a bridge. Thank you for your wonderful comment SP. The encouragement you have given me on this and other of my poems, has increased my initiative to test my abilty further than before.
