something lurks behind the veil

it waits on me to part curtains and pass through


is it family or friends

who've gone beyond


or old enemies who've yet to learn

the hurts they maintain


only hurt them

or even the passing stranger


who could've changed the tone

and meaning of my earthly living?


is it a gang of guardian angels

henchmen of the One waiting to give me


a last painful send-off? I tread the chosen path so

it hardly matters what lurks ahead of me...


I part curtains and pass in somehow no surprise...
