Q&A<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had Occasion
\nto Review
\nthe Report of
\na Traveller Who,
\nby nearly Dying,
\nTravelled to
\nThe Other Side of
\nthe Gossamer Veil
\nthat hangs between Us,
\nthe Earthbound Ones,
\nand the Home
\nto which
\nWe Will Return<\/p>\n

when We Cease
\nBreathing
\nOur Planet\u2019s
\nthick Atmosphere
\nand Rise to Be
\nGreeted by
\nThe Maker\u2019s
\nAdoring, Cherishing, Grinning
\nEmbrace.<\/p>\n

The Traveller
\nwas Allowed to
\nReturn –
\nHer Choice –
\nto The Body
\nwhich She\u2019d
\nbecome quite
\nAttached to.<\/p>\n

But not before
\nShe was Gifted
\na Heavenly
\nQ&A.<\/p>\n

She Questioned This and
\nwas Answered That,
\nuntil She was at
\nHer Last Query:<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, Maker,
\nWhy did You
\nMake Us?
\nWe\u2019re rather an
\nObstreperous Lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Maker Laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed You Are,
\nBut All of You,
\nMy Precious,<\/p>\n

Are Works of Art.<\/p>\n

I call You
\nMy
\nEternal
\nCelestial
\nCollection.\u201d<\/p>\n
