to be
enticed
or entranced
or entrapped
by the prospect of an afterlife
where to live out
your favourite dream
will last forever
without disturbance
or interruption
is it selfish
to say yes i will take this
if all that it costs
is a daily prayer
and the living of a peaceful life
i will admit
to looking forwards
to the passing over
to looking back
on the wonderful life
of course I do wonder
if i am not a believer
should i be gifted
what others
have served their all lives for
