Life and Death

Until Death's visited upon you: life's reality will remain true. Death opens the door to the unknown: your soul transcends mortal flesh and bone. Death will ignite a tunnel of light: and it will shine exquisitely bright. Its brilliance will shame the stars at night: and all your misgivings shall take flight. There might be a brief feeling of fright: witnessing this miraculous sight. But should you be unsure of your plight: Angels assure you that it's all right. Dying will feel somewhat surreal: for you'll realize God is real. Yet you'll never know if this is true: until Death's visited upon you.
