when I imagine a soul
it glows white and pale
it has little detail, being universal
its aspect is cipher
a little like a photon
emitted of an electron
on the edge of an atom
on the surface of a neuron
and if that photon travels at C,
and if the universe expands at C,
and if the universe has expanded
for X amount of time before that photon flew
that photon will always be X amount of time
away from the margins
which is where I postulate
heaven’s gate
infinity
which means
I cannot reach God
and I cannot stop reaching
though somewhat nicely
the distance yet to go
will always grow smaller
in relation to how far I have come.
