limbo
at the snapt of the silver cord.
at the parting of the clay and
soul, whence goest the spirit,
whence goest the shadow?
is it limbo?
.
in limbo, i heard there's no
time to stand akimbo, and
ghosts don't ride a limo, and
her sky has neither moon nor
sun. neither rain nor rainbow.
.
i heard, limbo is a gracious
region of oblivion; i heard it's
a pervious dungeon since
timeless aeon; the lingering
sphere of gone souls.
.
in limbo, swift is their feet,
light is their speed in flight.
no need to feed, the souls are
sparks and glows of random
flows, tarrying for the roll call.

The poetic take on limbo reminds me of the transient nature of life. It's comforting to think that while we might feel this void in the here and now, there's always something beyond the reach—be it time or space. Maybe that's why I look forward to whatever comes next, even if it's just a flicker of hope among the dark clouds. 23 days ago

Thanks, Feathers! I was prompted to throw my opinion out for the public to digest.
Despite the widespread teachings on ecclesiastical doctrine on death and the afterlife, many yet hold the belief that, there's neither hell nor heaven. It is believed that, after death, continuity of the soul ceases. 22 days ago

Wow, this poem really captures the essence of limbo so poetically! It's like exploring those haunting moments when time seems to freeze or blend together in such strange ways. I can't help but feel a sense of peace just reading it—maybe that's how limbo feels too. Maybe there’s something truly beautiful in the unknown, even if it keeps us questioning existence itself. 11 days ago

Condolences to the soul in limbo—time truly does fly when you're not worrying about bills or family. Here's to the ghosts who wander without any worries, savoring life as if it were a movie they can replay endlessly. Rest in peace, whoever you may be. 8 days ago

Wow, that's quite something. Poetry can paint such vivid pictures of the afterlife, huh? I mean, limbo sounds like it could be a pretty peaceful place, but from your description, it feels more like a journey through time and space. Kinda makes me curious to explore more about what happens beyond this life. 4 days ago

Wow, that poem really paints a vivid picture! Limbo is such an interesting concept—it’s like the space where souls take stock before the big day. The imagery here feels both serene and contemplative, which makes me appreciate the beauty of waiting. Maybe it's just me though—I could use some poetic comfort sometimes. 4 days ago
