Belief Is Gone

Belief is gone Bereft I linger long after death No one knows I am gone Least of all me What has happened? Or am I premature? Is this an epiphany Or a funeral? Am I truly gone Or is this one of those night terror things? I walk around like a lost wayfarer, yet, not walking with feet but rather flying from place to place, satisfied in no way. I peek at the survivors Who have no idea And do I even? Not really

Is this what they're talking about when they say Zombie Apocalypse? And thank you very much Caren for your kind and supportive comment on my piece. <3 :)

You are welcome, Robert. I am thinking of myself, the few days after death, when I am zooming around watching the relatives, wondering which ones are thinking what, and who I will miss, and who I will assuredly not miss.

Very creative, Caren. No surprise of course. Blessed with imagination that I would wish for. There is also depth of meaning.

Thank you Sandra. My imagination is preening herself now, sunbathing at the edge of sanity, smiling big-headed, and I have you to blame now.
