Illusion or Delusion (What's Your Conclusion?)...

Know,
     i do not believe,
for i have glimpsed the other side...
     On a moonlit summer night
steamy with humidity
     came frost upon the lawn
Felt the chill of Eternity
     and it clings to me still
in hands hungering for warmth
     fingers like icicles
doubt any test given or taken
     will find the cure for this ill
great strength of will it has taken;
     many of my ideas and beliefs
have tottered and shaken
     but not shattered
even if they were all that mattered
     they are not foremost on my mind
It has been said i chase a dream
     but what else is there other than
to have your life as you would have it seem?
     Maybe one day my soul also will fall so low
as to remain earthbound
     with no other place to go
neither Heaven above
     or the Fires of Sheol
an Eternity of neither high nor low,
     hot nor cold
no longer resisting,
     merely existing...
