Hell's Great Pain Poem by GREENWOLFE 1962
Hell's Great Pain
It's not the molten lake of fire,
The dungeons dark and damp.
The heaving mass of mournful souls
Upon whom we might tramp.
That makes of Hell the savage place
We dare not ever go.
And makes us tread the narrow path
To Heaven, don't you know.
No, these are but the manifest
Of symbols we might use,
Just to give our little children
Advice on which to choose.
The savage pain endured in Hell
Is yet more true and real,
If you should ever feel the love
That Heaven can reveal.
I know this for I ventured there
For oh so brief a time.
And felt the love of God's embrace,
His glory so sublime.
It came to me in such a dream
As I cannot explain.
And satisfied my mortal soul
So much, I felt no pain.
The lesson that I learned from this
Came after I awoke,
And realized I lived again
Encoiled in mortal yoke.
So this, in truth, is all we need
To know of Hell's great pain.
The knowledge of the love we'll lose
And never know again.
a great read from beginning to end I can't agree more with the concept you are conveying about afterlife thanks Greenwolfe
I'm blown away... you seem to be quite an incredible poet. I like your style of writing... I wrote a short story recently in an old- fashioned classic writing style similar to yours. I was surprised by how much character it gave my story and how much I actually enjoyed writing in that fashion. For some reason it is nice to know that someone else in 'the now' enjoys it as much as I do.. (though I must say you are much better at it than I can ever hope to be for years to come.) I find this particular poem incredibly thought provoking and priceless with it's brilliantly terrifying imagery.
So this, in truth, is all we need To know of Hell's great pain. The knowledge of the love we'll lose And never know again. ................................................. This last stanzas the super - especial... The pain well operates over poets, whether not so, Wolfey .. 10....... Tsira
