what then?

when no more darkness finds itself extinguished by the light?

when all the strength contained within the shell of this body ebbs away –

what then?

will i –

mind free from consternation –

lay down,

become – undone?

what then?

when morning comes and finds me less than whole,

yet so much more than was…

to fly above the sky and feel the brush of angels wings.

and then –

perhaps –

come face to face with God?

oh that the world would listen –

simple truth –

instead of learning in the end,

knowing –

all along!
