The Moment After

After the present chapter

ends

which words will matter 

then?

When the last note

is wrote

and the final song

played 

what will Heaven's hymnal 

and the eternal journal 

say?

Upon the time

when the tale unfolds 

will the same remain 

to hold?

Beyond the veil 

of darkening 

smoke

can you tell 

the surviving spark

of hope?

At the conclusion 

of this material 

illusion 

will there be confusion 

or spiritual 

evolution?

After all 

is done and 

said

the soul shall stand 

to walk among 

the dead.
