AFTERLIFE

I can't help but wonder

What awaits in afterlife;

Can't believe we simply die

And that's the end; the final step.

The spirit, the soul,

If they truly exist,

Must be carried off to

A higher plain which can't

Be seen by mortal eyes,

Much like the light at the

Edge of the spectrum,

Reaching to levels beyond our vision,

Waiting to reveal itself when

At last we shed this mortal coil.

Where do we go?

No one knows.

No mortal has been there

Then come back to tell.

Call it Heaven if you like;

A place where peaceful souls may dwell.

Whatever waits in afterlife,

Whatever consciousness abides,

Will be a new adventure

When we finally reach the other side.
