Poem

What Is The Distance Between Here and Eternity?

Some say it is in the clouds above,
is it?
Some say it is in a far off place,
is it?
Does anyone really know?
Yes, just a few,
the ones who have died and then came back.
Do we believe their stories?
Their stories may seem wild to us,
wild because we have not yet been there.
We now live the world of life,
death will come soon enough.
The question comes back to,
What Is The Distance Between Here and Eternity? 
For now we can only guess at the answer,
one day we will see the answer.

Paige Hind Date: 9/29/2026 7:59:00 PM hard questions, I hope the answers are not so much so, hope to give it to God who is Beyond Any Comprehension <3
Gershon Wolf Date: 9/29/2026 7:58:00 PM How far from here to eternity, one of the ultimate questions there... although not as immediate as How many more miles 'til we get there, Mom? lol.

Sara Kendrick Date: 9/29/2026 4:32:00 PM Yes, Paula, so many questions that we could come up with that really have no answers to, but we will know better by and by. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Way to go. It reads like a good contender for the contest. 👏✍️. Sara K.

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 9/29/2026 9:58:00 AM - Lots of questions to ponder, Paula :) - But as you say, "we can only guess" - You post several poems at a time... I don't manage to read them all... the "new poems" list – the poems disappear so fast - When it's morning for you, it's evening here... poof, gone - Best wishes in the contest :) - hugs
CayCay Godwin Date: 9/28/2026 11:55:00 AM Sweetie, you have one too many 'the's' in the 11th line. Your poetical musing encourages the reader to think and that's a good thing. I enjoyed your poem. CayCay
Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/28/2026 12:17:00 AM If you are speaking of the near death experiences, I am so fascinated by them. Heaven is so easy for them to get to get some describe it as way out there in the cosmos. I am dying to find out. (Will be dying 😄)
David Crandall Date: 9/27/2026 6:44:00 PM Great thoughts. I'm not ready to know the answer!
