"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 it's not the end, and that eternal souls ascend. Illuminating Death's starkness, will I find light bridges darkness? Yet, till I breathe my final breath, living is juxtaposed with Death. And I will likely never know the full measure of Death's shadow. For when I no longer exist, life gets checked off my bucket list. Once I've passed, there's no coming back; I'll see nothing, not even black. Unless, of course, I have a soul, then, I'm told, 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/
