The Moment of Death

No one else knows 

what really happens 

at the moment of death

Well I suppose

we may imagine

that we'll take our last breath

but where our soul

goes from there

is really anyone's guess

A Gnome

Once there was a gnome

who was far from home

He decided to roam

to inspire this poem

Masks

Masks are spooky,masks are weird

Sometimes masks are even feared

Masks are worn to hide the truth

seems to me they're so uncouth

A Spiritual Realization

We're all here for a reason

whether we know it or not

so let's all be decent

let's not spoil the plot

Stay out of the way

or help when you can

whatever's underway

is no match for a man

The Road Ahead Looks Dim

I don't know where I'm going

not too sure where I've been

the road ahead looks dim...

No Myth

Who's to say what's a myth and what isn't

Truth is often stranger than fiction

so I guess it is my mission

to say that a muse provides composition

to creativity's exhibition and commission

I must trust my intuition to expose this condition

About a Secret

A true secret can never be told

for in the telling you break the mold

So how can I tell you about a secret

I really think that it's best to keep it

Missed Communication

We all hear what we wanna hear
