After Life

Darkness seeps in as I close my eyes There is a fear, but temporary. This will be the last sleep of my life For I know I won’t see another January. The cold is slowly freezing the bones Death is calling me to its abode, I can feel sounds, moans and cries But I know this is the end of my road. I want to tell ‘her’ I’m going to be reborn, I open my lips to call ‘her’ name, But it gently lifts me up and flies And I know it is “End of Game”. Though not, I fly through realms of souls, I fly over empty deserted landscapes, I fly over Hell and it’s minions A land where Death has no escapes. I fly over warm grasslands and meadows A land, which looks prettier than earth And I stand before a golden gate Where God is gifting yet another birth. He tells me you will be born again But not to become a mortal You will stay with me forever And be my dearest son immortal! I daresay “I don’t want immortality! I want to go back to the mortal realm It is not to enjoy those frugal moments, Nor to feel the impoverished dreams I want to become Death I want to end mortal sufferings I want to liberate their souls And want to bring happy endings” He asks me why such wish, I say “It is for the mortal life below, “It is for the rich and needy It is for the happy and gloomy “It is for the good and evil It is for the man, woman and child “It is for the animals and trees It is for every organism, tied or free “It is to let them know That after misery and suffering That after darkness and despairing Will come eternal peace and mirth; For all those terrified and melancholy souls Death is much sweeter than birth.
