Death and Eternity

A Poem follows for all those who are suffering the pangs of separation from a loved one through death... and all the rest who will.... particularily for an esteemed work colleague who has just lost his wife to Cancer. We all mourn loss as we adjust to the empty space, even when we accept its inevitability ... see earlier poem "Still Life".
A Death started me on this expressive blogging lark... and it certainly keeps cropping up again, but it doesn't get any easier...each one is a gap in a different picture. How much harder will it be when the gaps are in the same picture?
Only God can help me through, only God gives me the answers... which is weird in a way, because I don't actually have any craving to live for ever at the moment...That's me being lazy I suppose - why else would I consider opting out of a heavenly life? I just love the way my life is complete with faith and I sometimes wouldn't mind if the end was oblivion, deep peace, 'cos eternity is quite scary, no matter how fulfilled I feel in worshipping my God, no matter how the Holy Spirit enables me to be more like Jesus... but I'll accept whatever comes because it's from God, & will be better than I could ever comprehend or imagine.
