last night
i listened to
handel’s messiah
as i waited to sleep
a sudden awakening
in
the third movement
the messiah’s role in life after death
a visitor
gabriel came and sat
upon the edge of my bed
my son, not the angel
however
i am beginning to suspect
they are the same being
as i have seen them in a room together
at the same time
he had written a piece of prose full of questioning
entitled
on the nature of unknown souls
penned with his left hand
(the same side of god’s throne
his namesake sits upon)
i read the page of wonder
beyond old testament wisdom
concerning the origin and motivation
of all things
it was then he spoke
he had decided
the soul is an energy which is our essence
when we die the essence does not go to
heaven or hell
but simply rejoins the collective
this is where we come from
this is where we return to
it is why our souls recognize each other
this is why we long to love each other
within the act of loving others
we are loving ourselves
he said these things to me
as the bass cried out
behold, i tell you a mystery
hosanna in the highest

Kinda feels like a sickness…
You did a really good job on this one Alicia. Tell me more about the part,”as i have seen them in a room together.”
Oh…you said “beyond” Old Testament…I take it back. It is glorious.
