Life after death
In the realm beyond our mortal sight,
Where darkness yields to eternal light,
A journey begins, unknown and vast,
Life after death, a chapter to be cast.
No more the flesh, the bones, the pain,
In this realm, no worldly chains.
The soul's release, like a soaring dove,
To explore the mysteries of realms above.
Is it a dream, a sweet reprieve,
Or a truth that we can scarcely believe?
In this afterlife, a new existence unfolds,
Where the story of the soul is retold.
The burdens of Earth, the sorrows and strife,
Shed like a cocoon, in the afterlife,
A world of wonder, where spirits soar,
Where love and peace reign forevermore.
Perhaps a reunion with loved ones gone,
A cosmic journey, a celestial dawn,
Life's questions answered, mysteries unfold,
In this realm where the soul's story is told.
Though death may seem a final parting breath,
Life after death, a dance with no death,
In realms unknown, the soul finds its way,
Eternal existence, beyond night and day.
So embrace the mystery, the unknown's embrace,
For in life after death, there's endless grace,
A timeless journey, where the soul takes flight,
To realms of wonder, in eternal light.
