Notes About The Poem

 For The Contest,
"Between Here and Eternity" 
 Sponsor: Sotto Poet

Voyage To Eternity


Such quiet dwells, when I walk in...
this place, so calm and void of din.
But still, a rhapsody within
I hear- so beautiful, akin
to music from a violin
and angels singing hymns therein;
fathomless sounds that soon begin
to race my heart, goose-bump my skin.

Eternity unfolds herein...
I'll rest in peace with no chagrin.
The story of my life will spin
my deeds I hope, with grace, not sin.
And, here I'll be, frame, old and thin;
in mausoleum rest with kin.
But angels will my soul unpin-
as God unveils His welcome grin.

Amazing mono rhyme Sandra, usually the rhymes start to sound forced after 6 or 8 but not this time, this is a master class in mono rhyme, congrats on two worthy wins!!

Wow, that is amazing. Such a blast of rhyme. And still and still your poem flows and is not hard laboured despite all those ...ins. Fantastic. Many wishes to you and may eternity settle slowly...
