Q&A

I had Occasion
to Review
the Report of
a Traveller Who,
by nearly Dying,
Travelled to
The Other Side of
the Gossamer Veil
that hangs between Us,
the Earthbound Ones,
and the Home
to which
We Will Return

when We Cease
Breathing
Our Planet’s
thick Atmosphere
and Rise to Be
Greeted by
The Maker’s
Adoring, Cherishing, Grinning
Embrace.

The Traveller
was Allowed to
Return –
Her Choice –
to The Body
which She’d
become quite
Attached to.

But not before
She was Gifted
a Heavenly
Q&A.

She Questioned This and
was Answered That,
until She was at
Her Last Query:

“Oh, Maker,
Why did You
Make Us?
We’re rather an
Obstreperous Lot.”

The Maker Laughed.

“Indeed You Are,
But All of You,
My Precious,

Are Works of Art.

I call You
My
Eternal
Celestial
Collection.”
