Death Is Just the Beginning

Death is just the beginning. A mother’s natural instinct, a sixth sense and premonitions. Surely this can’t all just be a coincidence? Surely this proves, there’s more than meets the eye? Surely this proves, we had a past life? Maybe nobody actually dies and floats away into the sky. Maybe we’re all reincarnated, again and again. Just as Buddha, would have us believe. So if we did become, enlightened like him, Surely then, that would mean, We are cheating death, by knowing of reincarnation And surely we shouldn’t fear our final destination. For when we die, we shall come back alive, But no-one is willing to believe this, in case it’s a lie. But we should have no fear, of the afterlife, For if it’s final, then that shall just be the end of the line. But if Buddha was right and he did walk into the light, Then death should not be feared, maybe it should be embraced. For when we die, it’s only the end of this life, Another chance, to try to become enlightened And when we have learned, what we are meant to know, Maybe then, we shall reach our Heaven.
