You look skyward to pay homage
to those who may reside,
some point in that direction
one's faith, has so implied.
Have yet to know the answer
no facts provide confirm,
I spend no time believing
nor can I disaffirm.
When time it comes for leaving
a chance for me to learn,
if heavens not the answer
I'll settle for the urn.
