If You Believe

What if you die with no knowledge you’re dead in the ground or the oven no tears to be shed What if you die with the door closing tight memoriam ended devoid of the light But what if you die and a Voice filters through a Voice you remember from when you were new And after you die a Hand reaches down pulling you back — your soul Heaven bound (1st Book Of Prayers: April, 2024)

Does the afterlife depend on belief? If so, is the afterlife a manifestation of thought? Idle musings, enjoyed your poem
