Future

There was the Door to which I found no key;
There was the Veil through which I might not see.

I sent my Soul through the Invisible,
Some letter of that After-life to spell,
And by and by my Soul returned to me,
And answered "I Myself am Heav'n and Hell."

One thing is certain and the rest is lies:
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.

~Omar Khayyam~
