Story sample:

Why seek happiness In a perpetual future
When it does exist Presently in thy heart?

Why seek happiness
In a perpetual future
When it does exist Presently in thy heart?

Clouds of omnipotent magnificence
Swirl past my closed eyes,
Yet, not an inch moved, have I
As music from souls enters my ears;
My throat swells with empowering emotion;
My eyes, with the happiest of tears.
Before me shadows of many a faceless face
Quickly appear, yet swiftly disappear,
Flooding my vision with a rapidity of speed;

Sleep, my precious
While awake I lie,
Hand to chest,
Deeply, with joyful
Crushing emotions,
I sigh.

Wonder as we may,
An accusation shall not occur
Upon thy preconceived Judgment Day,
For question upon what basis life
Does base its controlling fears.
Turn thy eyes directed by
Leering peers,
For if thine heart truest shall be
Thy guide, upon a gift eternal
A spirit ought lovingly arrive
And direct a being in this life
Thee hath chosen to now survive,
Thus, returning thee to the beginning;
Concluding a journey of which
Thy entity eternal did Knowingly provide.
