Unbridgeable Chasm

Death is an unbridgeable chasm, that's my opinion, not sarcasm. Many mystics tried to explore whatever lies beyond Death's door. Religions preach Death's not the end; as eternal souls; we ascend. Yet, till I breathe my final breath, living is juxtaposed with Death. And I will likely never know the full measure of its shadow. For when I no longer exist; my id shall dissipate like mist. Once I'm dead, there's no coming back; I'll see nothing, not even black. Unless, of course, I am a soul; then, I pray God will take control.

Emile, I must commend you on crafting a truly remarkable poem. The exquisite imagery, coupled with the use of elevated diction, has bestowed upon this already resplendent piece an ethereal veneer of magnificence. The enigma of what lies beyond the realm of mortality remains an enigma to all, defying comprehension just as life itself does.

Hello Emile, We do not know what comes after death. No one knows that. Just like life Death is a mystery. My friend enjoy your day. /Darlene/
