Death comes to those who wait to meet a busy God
even if you should climb every step to the top
a line to get inside an extremely small room
this tiny office space contains every single
human soul ever born on the face of the earth
challenged to reach the top of the tallest building
only with one stairwell and no elevators
may seem a futile game with an ancient wizard
eternal beyond time outside the universe
silent as a deaf mute infant who cannot hear
to answer the prayers offered by humankind
only the spirit acts as messenger for God
tell me why you believe or choose to otherwise
haunt your former dwelling because you cannot face
our only meaningful pursuit after this life
see both dark energy and dark matter with eyes
even scientists dream to use to see deep space
where God resides within a dead star a black hole
home to every lost soul searching for the meaning
of life beyond language beyond our existence
we imagine this space where God asks a dead soul
after it made its way patiently to the top
in a moment breathless with anticipation
to describe exactly what it had expected
to happen while alive so God could adjust time
on a grand scale to fix the most minor problem
most souls look into God baffled by a maelstrom
even to dare answer with total honesty
ever to change a thing only one hungry ghost
took matters into her own hands and swallowed God
a beam of light burst forth from the dead star to earth
basking in victory she was born to be queen
under the Union Jack to reign supreme over
sovereign nations who bow before her majesty
yet God did not appear on earth or disappear
God remained in darkness and silence for all time
only because his work was already finished
done in a mere six days this being the seventh
