Z
The last letter of the alphabet...
Death appears to the deceased.
Soul laments, "Why are you here? Why can't I go back?"
Death silently collects soul.
Questions of "Why" quivers throughout the universe.
Death rides with earth as his heart and souls as his blood.
The soul keeps lamenting.
Death takes soul to the Judgement Chamber.
Death asks, "Soul do you want to know the answer of all eternity?"
"Z."
The soul befuddled ponders, "Z?"
Death says with a trinity twinkle in his skull eye, "Z comes after the letter Y."
Death winks and vanishes.

This poem came to me in a dream breaking a six year writer's block.
