If Not God–What Else?

Something with whatever name

can act like God just the same.

Life, death and eternity

are all the same thing for me.

After our own lives are gone

our spirits will carry on.

There will be no mystery

and whatever is will be.

Just as it has always been

something else will be within.

When the future becomes past

we will understand at last

that God is only a name

and love is what it became.
