I Believe

by Wayne F. Burke / October 6th, 2024

I am here within
a body loaned to me
for the duration of my stay
on the planet, and
when I leave this body
I will be here and
everywhere at once,
in a quantum whatever;
and all-knowing because
being All, and no longer
separated from anything
by my skin, but joined
everywhere–
not conscious but
a part of the mystery of consciousness
which is the mystery of life.
