Want to know a secret?

Press play before reading. Salute.


(A lone voice whispers)


Do you literally know all things

Live on hired time


Particularly us 

Who once walked with wanderlust


From A to B


Through the universe's life-giving stardust


In metaphysical old invisible shoes


As our poor souls

Time and time around 


Tried to renew


Into a better version of who they previously were


As it tries to atone 


For all souls

I now know 

Are like spiritual entrepreneurs

 

Playing the greatest of all games

With a full deck of cards


Before their own red stage curtain falls


And their sacred vision of the Yellow Blazing Sun 


Which once rose over their lifes many crazy zoos 


Turns pale blue


When all their eternal golden bells sing 


As they are made to ring

After being ordained to summon them home


To wander and roam under this

Sheʾōl's great big silver judgmental dome


My advice to you is simply this


Do more with your time before your golden bells sings


For living 


You will miss 

As you wander lost like me


In this falling white snow which pens us in


For I'm now just another lonely victim marked to repent


By Sheʾōl's wet kiss
