Death (The First Five Minutes)

The movie ends and
the credits roll and
the droll lights blind
glazed eyes to the reality
of existence.
The distance between now
and eternity is 300 unadorned
seconds.
Bliss or imagination, can
anyone really know for sure
where the pure spirit lies in
the moments after death when
breath and heart and thought
cease forever falling into the
clever trappings of eternal
silence?
Even as we ultimately expire,
will we know?
Our minds true essence is lost
without regard to the realm of
fantastic illusion and
delusional ranting going
on around us.
Where does the truth lie?
