Believe It Or Not Poem by Laurence Overmire

Your life is only a myth
Something you can believe in
Or not

You create the story
As you go
Intentionally or unintentionally

While

Others can only glimpse the edges
Of who you are
Never really understanding

The fatal form of life

What it is
That peeks through
The curtain

A snapshot here
A snapshot there
Encompasses the scrapbook of

Relationship

And when you die
The myth lives on
In fragments here and there

Most will forget—
Yet someone dear
In quiet moments

Will hold you close
In mind and heart—
Believing

In who you were
And what you are
And call you back

From the other world

To take your place
In this cosmic dream
That all of us share

Together.
