After Death
Numerous times in my mind a question pops,
And whenever it does it troubles me non stop,
Restless it makes me over and over,
And then the fear of death begins to tower.
Impossible it is for me to imagine,
A dead person's after death scene,
What exactly happens when death plays its part?
Does as per mythology an after life start?
Is the soul then consciously aware,
Of his travel to another world through air,
Of the fact that his life on Earth no longer exists,
Of his earlier life cycle gist?
Does he really meet there some unearthly being,
Who recounts to him his life's achievements and misgivings,
And assigns him a place in heaven or in hell,
And then with the rest of inmates does he gell?
Does he meet the other souls of his life,
His parents, grandparents, friends, children, husband or wife,
Those of whom he had lost to this world prior to him,
Does he get to interact there too with his kith and kin?
Does he get to settle old scores,
Or play with his playmates when he gets bored,
Does he get the chance to complete the half left relations,
Or now correct those wrongly made decisions?
Or is he greeted by the God Himself,
Who talks to him, guides him and gives him help,
About his past lives and awaiting future,
Does God become the soul's tutor?
Does the God then make that all important decision,
Of whether to make that soul an angel or back to the Earth to send,
And then does the soul for another life on this Earth go?
What exactly after death happens is all I want to know!
