Tremendously enjoyable epic of the soul making its way through fluctuations of time, space, and the unknown frontiers of spiritual destiny. A great poem and read.

Am totally there with you on this one, Dale, as I expect you realise from my Demented write! :)) Love the idea of passageways and portals which our memory and experience contribute to, thus making up this labyrinth called life. I have come to know that physical death of the mortal body that my spirit inhabits is but another door to be passed through, as much part of the continuum as all the rest. And although we may agree that the eternal life of the spirit/soul is not something that is "optional", we may, perhaps, disagree as to how the next part of eternity is spent if we do not seriously consider what constitutes "heaven" and what "hell", because I am firmly of the view that both exist and that the choices we make now, whilst in this body, impact on our future. A warm, spiritual pea-soup might be nice and the thought comforting, but have a hunch there might be more to it than that! Thank you for making me feel blessed with this poem this morning and I never expected to launch into debate... but such is the nature of your writes: always inspirational; always wonderfully cinematic and thought-provoking. And... pah!! Me young?? A half-century beneath me belt don't seem quite the "young" I would like!! :))

The time comes when we start taking inventory, realizing our time here is not as long as we once thought. Good to read you again, Dale.

Oh what a sweet delight it would be to create just one single masterpiece in this life, one symbol of perfection that lives beyond the self.

Love & Light always and in all ways,
