The place of hereafter

Heaven and hell;
the places of the hereafter;
the two sides of a coin;
opposites and different,
in the utmost extremes.

People question what they are;
How does it smell, how does it look,
What do I hear, what will I feel,
in the end, what will I know?

I know little about these places,
as I am still here, living,
but I have imagined it in a way,
In a way that seems to work;

One on the right,
One on the left,
and in between the intense opposites,
a chasm, neverending and dark as
a cloudy night with no moon.
On one side, heaven
a place not necessarily of lights,
nor made of clouds,
it is simply bliss,
a place you know, or knew,
a place where the weight of the world
has been eternally lifted off your shoulders.
a place that is like a place on Earth,
a place where you were happy and fulfilled,
a place you belonged.
every love, every friend, every family
everyone that mattered the most
all here, all there,
right with you always.

It is where everyday is a good day,
and those are the best days.
The work is steady,
something that you’ll enjoy.
Hate has no place,
for it has been found
that hatred
is a leap too far,
too much energy,
for so little pay off.
It is a infinite world,
where,
from east to west,
and north to south,
all praise the name of a true king, the king know as god,
one that rules benevolently,
and truly,
with the power of trillion of men,
and the kindness of the greatest priests,
there he sits, Jesus Christ, God, the Holy Spirit,
all three as one,
ruling upon high,
as a proper king should.

the other side, A place called ‘Hell’
It isn’t necessarily fire and brimstone,
though it is certainly in parts,
no, it is a place of fear.
A place where,
those who have the desire to know,
will never learn the truth,
and those that never wanted involvement,
will find themselves the centerpiece.
‘tis a place where irony is rampant,
and what the wicked desired,
will be given,
only in the cruelest way,
and those with a hole in their souls,
will find that it grew,
and now has made themselves a hole entirely.

And in between,
a chasm in the middle.
A chasm dark and deep splitting the two planes,
a canyon that is neverending,
a place of neutral ground,
for there is no profitability,
no reason to be here,
which is the reason why,
those that are here,
stay here.

The chasm is a home,
a home to those who decided,
the risks of taking a side above them,
and losing,
were too much in comparison
to the payoff of winning.

So they remain here,
a place that will not be involved,
no matter how great a conflict,
a place of peace,
but no belonging,
a place of satisfaction,
but no happiness.
A place where you will simply be,
and not be bothered

And above these features,
it sits.
“What sitteth there above it all?”
you may wonder,
and I say that it is simple;
what sits above these contrasting worlds,
is the universe,
and inside it,
is us.
And from this, we depart,
to Heaven, to Hell,
to the chasm in between.
All the lives of this world we live in,
all come back here in the end.
Back here,
to where it all started.

Is the chasm supposed to be purgatory or something?
