Sharyn,
This was a unique premise for a poem. Although it is about a serious subject, I love that you wrote it in a very light-hearted way .... 'just wondering' type of a write. My fave line "what lies at the top of the roller coaster" .... a good way of putting it.
A very entertaining read. It captured and held my interest. Love the artwork, and the light blue background with dark blue print pops off of the page at the reader to help draw them int.
Very nice Sharyn!

This is a wonderful poem. I love the theme, and how you express it. The tone is appropriate. I love the butterfly analogy. The picture is great.

Lovely poem, photo choice and questions asked. Your poem is "food for thought..." Set-up, progression, rhythm and flow make it an excellent read. Thanks for sharing, Deb

Yes, or maybe just faith. I'm OK with mystery, I guess I'll find out when i get there. Like Theodore Rothke's vilanelle: "I wake to sleep and take my waking slow/ I learn by going where I have to go":) HNice poem, my dear--Ted

G'day Sharyn. Sorry about my tardiness in reviewing, I have been out having fun and creating adventures for a few days and now I am way behind. I loved this piece as much as I love all of your work. You often leave me pondering about many things. I enjoyed the twist in this one, you made me hold my breat. Cheers Fez.

Comment from JM daSilva
This is a poem that brings together religion and philosophy. And a bit of sadness since nobody can prove anything since that's not a scientific issue. Great feat, huh?

Comment from GeraldS
This is a well written, well constructed piece. The narrative seemed dark to me, probably due to the uncertainty at the end. Of course, none of us really know what awaits us. People have ideas and expectations, some of which are confounding to others, but it all boils down to a person's beliefs. The message of this poem is thought provoking. It does a good job of stirring the reader's imagination.

thx so much Cally - I think my son pounds me with rap music, which is full of assonance and internal rhyming (as well as DISSONANCE of course!)

Comment from Starlit Ink
It does come down to dust in the end, and that is a good reason to live with a wisdom of what is important. Your use of touches of rhyme in the free verse is very effective. I also like the questions that you ask, which make the reader think about destiny. It's a profound write that sees beyond the surfaces.

Comment from Taffspride
Such beautiful expressive writing Sharyn. You ask something that of late I have been thinking about. If only we could know.
This beautiful poem certainly deserves the highest rating. My only question is the use of "floating like fairy light" somehow it seems out of place. Perhaps "floating feather like" or some such wording would have more impact. JMHO.
Thank you for sharing.

bless you for your lovely six on this one Ann - I changed that line as Ed Baldwin had suggested something different too - just made it "feather light" and I like it. Thank you for the suggestion (as well as that lovely sixer of course!)
