72 and a Half

I'm 72.5
How many more years on this earth?
5? Hopefully 8.
What then? Heaven? Hell? Purgatory?
Perhaps Purgatory to wash away my regrets.
Or relive them and correct them.

This leap to the afterlife is no longer nothingness
But rather somethingness
Where light will always shine in happiness.
