Analysis of Eternal Echoes: A Divine Journey



You are infinite, O God, divine,
Yet I am but a speck of dust in line.
You fashioned Adam, and Eve so fair,
And vowed they would not fall into despair.

Now I know whence I came, my Lord,
And where further my path is stored.
Your sacrifice has been made, I see,
Granting me a life anew, to be.

The Apocalypse does not instill fear,
For soon the world's end will draw near.
We'll ascend to Heaven, all in due time,
For those whose hearts are not weighed down with grime.

In hope, I now reside and dwell,
In wounds of yours, I find my shell.
A little more endurance, I need to borrow,
For a fresh breath of life, you'll surely bestow.

About this poem

I recount my realization of my infinitesimal existence compared to the divine, yet find solace in the creation of Adam and Eve, guarded against despair by a divine vow. Through introspection, I discover my origin and the path ahead, enlightened by the sacrifice made for me. The impending Apocalypse holds no fear, as I anticipate ascension to Heaven for those unburdened by darkness. Despite challenges, I cling to hope, finding refuge in divine wounds and awaiting a renewal of life.
