Eternity is a spectacular place
filled with constant renewal
sitting at my desk
realizing sometimes it can be cruel
The story began
so long ago
believing I could finish it
refusing to let go
Physical life ended
but my soul refused to leave
so very important
or so I believed
It seemed the universe concurred
as the light never went out
skin rotting with each stroke
going to finish without a doubt
Only the shadow of me remains
my bones attached the paper
words are flowing
finishing now instead of later
On a bus
arriving in Heaven
allowed to see my story
on the news at eleven
Walking into the gates
eyes filled with expression
explaining that the story
is my confession
After hearing laughter
there was an examination
a sigh of relief
that I have been granted dispensation
New life
another story begins
excitement and adventure
knowing the story never ends
