Drop Dead

Would you really like to know when you drop dead where you may go? Let me explain so you may see how certain things are known to me. I’ve often travelled in this land that few can really understand and most don’t try to go and see except when spirits are set free. This place is not the same as here, although it’s really very near, in fact it’s just a breath away and whispers to us every day. The things I’ve seen prove this to me that nowhere is eternity, though there's life on different plains, all still continue with life’s games. For many mansions has this land, eternal law takes you in hand and places you with your own kind where all can share a common mind. But if you don’t accept you’re dead or pass with chaos in your head, sometimes you’re lost and cannot find a way to shed your tortured mind. For some strange reason I don’t know, sometimes a ‘living’ soul must go to help lost souls to find their way across the realms of night and day. But I digress, I need to tell what is this death, a heaven or hell? Depending where you’ve made your bed it can be either when you’re dead! I’ve seen the devils and the gods I fought with demons, felt their rods, been bathed in beauty by each ray of perfect love shining my way. But what I learned, at no small cost is none can change when life is lost, whatever you are like that day is exactly how you’ll stay. Where you finally make your home depends just where on earth you roam. So did you really want to know, when you drop dead where you will go? Ivor G Davies
