The Abyss

The abyss never ends.
It is just a deep dark hole.
Or could it be much more?
We’ll never know
what’s on the other side.

It could be a wasteland.
Barren and desolate
with nothing but sand.

It could be a paradise
where all wish to go,
It could be Heaven
for all I know.
I could read about it
In a book,
but I’ll never know
Until I take a look.

I could ask everyone in
the world.
No two answers would
be the same.
Then again no one would
understand my craving to know
what’s on the other side.

What do you think is on
the other side?
But is it really sane to think
there’s even an abyss at all?
