For Eternity
Pray, do not be confused over the essence of the soul
Pray, know that it lives for a time, oh so eternal
Know that life was in the past
And that even after death, to its consciousness it shall cling on fast
Why, I say so not because I have read about it in Holy Books
I say so not because I do not want to seem fake
But I say so because I have felt it
Yes, of the mystical, life did give me a treat
Yes, my secret, the reason why I have accepted life
Yes, the reason why I have chosen to walk my mile
Is merely because the skies did open up to me, to spark up my faith
See, previously, I was but a mere atheist, over life's sins did I drool
But then, it came to me and I got to know why my life does be such
Why, it is the same for each and everyone of us
Even if we are made of blinded vision and ignorance
Yes, for our time here shall come to an end
So, from an atheist I became one who does preach
Now, no more over life's petty issues do I fuss
Now, I enjoy life and take my miseries as boons given to me in abundance
For I have come to know that life does keep on being after death
Yes, I do affirm of such! But then, my secret shall be carried with me to my grave
For this world does not be for those who do deem themselves brave
Instead, they are taken to be fools
Yes, fools too scared to live their lives fully
But I do calmer now, I do be sober now
In another realm, to live shall I be allowed
Indeed, life does go on
Even if Death does be the one with the crown
Of course, I shall remember my life
Of course, I shall cherish those memories
But then, I shall try my best to protect this Earth
Indeed, for it did allow me to live here for a few years
Pray, here, living shall be my memory
Elsewhere, living shall I be for eternity
Do not believe of such to be mere whimsical fancies
Do not, for the truth they do be, and certainly not made up stories!
