Could there be a passage in the soul
leading to the hall of fame
where all who lived smile joyfully
and bow at last unto the truth?

And then out into the courtyard
like prisoners of belief
we’ll dizzy up the point of life
with the round and round about
walk of many minds.  

But were we always there
or did we enter from the world
through the passage to the hall
to the point of life perceived
as a dull and un-witted plot
to deceive all lovers everywhere?

We are lovers, you and I,
and it doesn’t matter courtyard, hall,
or out amidst the population growth
because awareness picks the time
to turn a person’s mind.

Still and all it’s like there’s more
we have yet to know, believe
but I can’t stay alive and well
the time it takes to show and tell.

Dear Helen,
I love your ponderings/questioning here ... I was actually having similar thoughts just today.

"We have yet to know ...", yes!

Good to find you here today!

Love,
Margherita
