Immortal Soul

How did life begin? Is there life after death? Are we conscious within? After we draw that last breath Is there life after death? When from this world we depart After we draw that last breath After the last beat of the heart When from this world we depart Where do all the dead go? After the last beat of the heart Perhaps we may never know Where do all the dead go? When they disappear out of sight Perhaps we may never know To lands distant and bright When they disappear out of sight Perhaps dwelling in eternal light To lands distant and bright The soul’s journey, in eternal flight Perhaps dwelling in eternal light Are we conscious within? The soul’s journey , in eternal flight How did life begin?

Hello, Nandita, so much to ponder on. I like what you did, you began and ended the poem with the same statement. I wonder if in the after life, we are still searching for answers. A high 7. Hugs... Linda

You have written about this quest for truth is such a compelling way, dear. We all have our own beliefs about what happens. My beliefs bring me comfort. This poem has a ray of light and hope there in that last stanza as well. Lovely

Thank you. I don't know what is true but these are just my thoughts. Not beliefs. Imaginary. Not reality. Thank you for your nice thoughts on this.
