Heaven Or Heavens Poem by Barry Middleton

my poetry is done
I cannot say much more
have I been clear enough
I've said it all before

I do not know what waits
I cannot fear the void
and I have few regrets
for a life I have enjoyed

still I will die a skeptic
torn beyond my belief
my logic nor my mystic
can serve to grant relief

I lived my life on hunches
I heard the preachers preach
and yet the facts elude me
a man can only reach

the poet said of glory
that we may sense its door
but never grip the latch
till death concludes its chore

to solve the final doubt
some look to God and trust
still skeptics feel secure
that the Universe is just
