As a Verdict of Truth Utters

slide me into a flight suit
shoot me somersaulting
to the stars as I cushion
in ether, to wait,
a solitary orb
dimming

spiked with steel
Fates hand took hold,
she the keeper of answers
secretly and slowly,
spun the arms of time
and found the key
to a treasure

we thought,

we had been patient
until Science and Religion
made a pact with fate

my Pandora's box is opening
and I may just shoot to the stars

I also get my own personal meaning by reading it. I just have one suggestion, since they are personified, it could be Fate, Science, Religion (caps). Antoine

Dear Elizabeth

thanks so much and I am very very happy you took your own meaning from it ... at the end we writers let our babies go for the minds of a world that will find their own spin for it thanks again love JayCee (Quote~~"It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree.

Brilliant, just Brilliant JayCee.

Ha, ha, I laugh at your descriptions of how you’re feeling, not at your feelings. For me this sounds like you’d be better off getting the hell off this planet before Pandora’s box does open and the Sh** hits the fan for all humanity.

The visuals here...

are as stunning as usual. No matter what the meaning, and for whom, I see you cart-wheeling through space in a suit. A spiked leather glove spinning a roulette wheel. Science, religion, and fate all in the black. And as the wheel stops and the ball settles, they give each other high-fives! You are the winner! Love ya, hig bugs, ~ Gee
