Wait and See

By John Herlihy

 

Who can say I wasn’t alive before I was born,

A soul in the mind of God, from eternity torn.

What is eternity after all if measured by time,

And not eternal moments considered sublime?

Think about it, does time always have its way?

Doesn’t the endless flow of eternity have its say?

And if so, what about my soul once it was born?

Did I already exist in eternity waiting to be born?

Why do I have this feeling of eternity within me?

Why this persistent idea clear for the eye to see?

A chipmunk lives but once, but also lives forever;

The soul of the idea will always live and die never.

We humans raise questions of who we may be;

Only God has the answer, we must wait and see.

I think it is like waiting in line for a movie you're dying to see!

Love ya!

IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN GOD FORMED ADAM, THE FIRST MAN. AND ADAM WAS JUST A LUMP OF FORMED DIRT UNTIL GOD BREATHED LIFE INTO HIM. THERE WAS NO EXISTENCE FOR ADAM UNTIL ALMIGHTY GOD GAVE HIM LIFE AND HE BECAME A LIVING SOUL. THAT HAS NOT CHANGED. GOD IS STILL TOTALLY IN CONTROL OF LIFE AND DEATH. SO, I DO AGREE, THERE ARE MYSTERIES THAT CAN ONLY BE ANSWERED WHEN WE SEE OUR CREATOR FACE TO FACE AND WE MUST WAIT. BUT THEN THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE ALREADY REVEALED...IN HIS WORD. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

History tells us that we can peel back the layers that obscure our vision and discover what really exists and what is merely a flash of dreamlike memory that isn't quite organized in our minds.

There is no doubt that chipmunks have intelligence and even behavior, as a mammal that is similar to humans. To date we have not found out whether chipmunks think like us. In fact although we have taught animals to mimic our speech, we have not had any of them communicated with us either directly or across the chasm of life and death.

We can give to god everything we want to understand but can't. It's a nice way of getting it out of our cluttered minds and let god do it for us.

Our souls have been living for eternity. No one knows how we were born. We were in the universe even before time was called time, and the beginning was called beginning. In the universe there is no such thing as time, and no such thing as beginning. Our souls travel from one galaxy to another for inhabitancy..

Many questions in this one, and I can't answer most of them. Still, your poem is food for thought.
