Lonely In Heaven (Tanka)

Lonely In Heaven (Tanka)

Karyn Indursky

Alone in heaven.
I'm missing you like crazy.
Counting down the time.
Wanting to rekindle love.
I'll wait an eternity,

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I think most people tend to think that when you get to heaven you're not lonely because you're reuniting with old ancestors, friends, loved ones you lost along the way or before you were even born. However, I think it'd be very lonely to be in heaven without the loved ones on Earth. All you'd want is to hold them, hold their hand, give them a kiss, walk with them, laugh with them, but all you'd have is air. It's tragic to think of all the pain and suffering brought forth by this and so I wrote this poem.
