Ouranophobia

I'm now at peace.
Ninety-years-old.
I've lived a good life.
Time to go home.

This is home now.
It doesn't feel like it.
But I'll be here
Forever.

I'm meeting him now,
My Maker, my Father.
"Ninety years," he says,
"here's to endless more."

Everyone's here!
My husband, my parents,
My sisters and brother.
All is now well.

Everything was perfect.
For ten thousand years.

What should I do now?
I did that already.
And I did that too!
Nothing is new!

How am I bored?
How did I do everything?
This is paradise!
Paradise gets boring?

There are no surprises,
At least not anymore.
I've been here so long that
I'm used to it all.

I want to shut down!
I can't be here forever!
I don't know what to do!
I'm stuck!

I didn't go to hell,
But I'm doomed anyway.

Ouranophobia is the fear of heaven. I've been unable to sleep the past few nights because the thought of my time in heaven never ending scares me. Sometimes I think that just shutting down is a better option. I don't know if it's normal, but it helps to write it out.

This is my first time writing free verse.

Knowing you wrote this because of a fear of Heaven makes me physically uncomfortable.^^;

Oh hey, I'm not the only one with a slight fear of death, yet fear of eternity :la:

It's like the old saying, "Better to reign in hell, than to serve in heaven."

Tasteless Dante's Inferno reference is tasteless.=|

Let's see what I can do.

I have an idea that could help.
1.
Heaven isn't "endless" so much as "eternal". Time is no longer an issue. Experience in Heaven is qualitative, rather than quantitative. Without time to measure things, it's what you do that matters. See 2 Peter 3:8

Honestly? I'm more worried about the thought of Heaven being static. If there isn't any time, and time is change, then does anything actually happen in Heaven?

Thanks, but I think that something happens in heaven. It is eternal paradise, right? This poem was something I wrote because the thought of living for eternity kept me up for a few nights, almost to the point of feeling sick. Writing it all out helped a lot.
