Becoming Dark Matter

The 
after-life 
could be just a flicker of light 
a speck of our former selves,
Lost firefly souls drifting about the periphery of nothingness...
On a constant quest for their nests of flesh.
Chasing the vapor of memories.
Until the final speck of light becomes 
a speck of darkness (bug on a windshield).
The tapestry of dark matter, part of a big puff of nothingness.

The afterlife could be an emergence of the soul from its chrysalis of flesh. 
A gilded distillate of their worldly goodness. 
Drifting down into an infinite pond of bliss. 
Called the heart of God.
