Immortality
One day you will be there no more,
Like mighty waves crashing on the shore.
For as unruly they froth and foam,
Each of them does find a home.
To break their eternal unrest
And be one in trough and crest.
Do they feel sad in the end?
No, for all I know my friend.
What when the beings rest so bare?
You shall know, you shall be there.
The sun burns even when no one sees
After it has set behind the trees.
What does end then when we die?
Is there a heaven up in the sky?
Or a hell in depths of earth,
For children’s tales have no dearth
Of legends pointing these are there.
Yes, my friend, all shall be fair.
We shed our bodies when we go,
When we’ve known what’s there to know.
When we’ve fulfilled our reason of birth
We do leave this lovely earth.
But there’s no reason for sorrow
Because there’s a better tomorrow.
One in which there’s heaven and hell
Reflecting the things you did so well,
Or deeds that were not so fair
For every action that was there.
For in our pleasure or our strife,
We’ve been paving this afterlife.
For death is just that silken screen
Which lets you enter where you had been
Before you visited this other side
Where you built up ego and pride
Life’s the journey and death the goal
That reminds you that you’re a soul.
The moment you shall realize this,
All your pain and hurt shall ease.
No more shall you be afraid,
For you are eternal, alive or dead.
You were there and you shall be,
Far from death you shall be free.
