"I believe when we die
and pass into the light,
all the love ever given
returns like an energy 
feeling sweet
and overwhelming
as it culminates
imploding our minds
and souls
into another dimension
that no one knows
or can even come close
to fathoming"

truth lies liquid
in the cyber mind
churned to fuel
by hands of time,
a cracking atom
in a state of the art
refinery

we soar onward
through eternity
potential sparks,
photon streaks
aimless silver trails
that peter out
eventually

one day, I know
she will ignite
we will ignite
and burn brighter
than our sun
and universe
combined

across the lonely
sea of night
let our plume spread
beauty, love,
and renewed life
hallelujah, god
sublime
