Count all the things that are eternal. Then
count all the things that are not. In which
list did you put the love you feel? The love
you received? In which list did you put
yourself? When creation made its lists,
which one do you think it placed you in?
Eternal! π

I like how straightforward this piece is. It pulls no punches. Once you answer the questions it presents it opens up so many other and questions and thoughts right after.

I really like this poem!! Indeed interesting to think about whether love is eternal….or not. Or if when we were created, were we…..? A short profound write! Sometimes one doesn’t need a lot of words to stir someone’s soul! Bravo.

A thought-provoking poem, and question. Love definitely goes on the eternal list. And, I think, poetry.
