Afterlife Accounting
Work for your world, But don't forget your afterlife, No one knows today if we are together, For tomorrow is not certain Let's pray for every moment After we're tired all day with our work Life is not worth for keeping Our life is a borrowed life Someone above us is the rightful owner When the time of accounting comes We are...

Premium Member Respect
We live and die completely In the material world It would be rather fiddly To emulate a Phoenix bird Our ashes can’t be bothered Inside their marble urns No point in fire hazard Cause we’re already burned It sounds flat simplistic Therefore it’s dull, I know I’d love to be a mystic To make of life a show I’d love to talk with God About my perspective...

Elect in Heavenly Daylight
After the elect Sailed through the milky river Christ, the golden lamb Shined through them in daylight blue Like Omicron Velorum Inspired by the Manichaean hymn "Hymn of the Bodies in Paradise"...

Whispers of the unknown
People say we should face our fears, but how do I face mine when the path leads only forward, never back? That wild journey called death— a story with no storyteller, a door with no return. Is there light beyond, or only endless dark? With each passing day, with every fleeting celebration, I hear time whispering, ticking, pressing against my skin. Will I forget it all, or will my...

Premium Member Where does one start on eternity
When I die, where will I be? Where does one start on eternity? At the beginning? Or more to the middle? Or perhaps, left of forever a little? Or at the intersection betwixt and between the pre~ and the post-me?...

Premium Member If I see you in heaven
If I see you in heaven, will you still be eleven? Or will you have grown into a man - dark, handsome, and tall? And when we converse, will you be able to expound on the universe? Or will your thinking still be eleven years small? ...

Premium Member The Child of the Cemetery
The Child of the Cemetery In a large and beautiful antique cemetery lives a child A young girl, I saw a few times during lonely walks She just looked and looked at me, a stranger visitor She stood there, beside a grave, and silently watched me and watched. Snow-white face, sky-blue eyes, long blonde hair, long white dress. “I am...

Child born from water and fire
I witnessed a body lying On the dead earth while formless and dismal A mire swollen and dying From this body arose a child so small Out of the flesh stinking of gall A child whiter than a pearly lily Who flew into paradise tranquilly The foulness of flesh remained not The child’s pureness left the world’s...

Heaven and Earthworms
I have given many a thought to what happens when we die, specifically, what happens to our bodies. You have the option to be classically buried, cremated, donated to science. I think I don't want to be cremated, kept in a jar or the specks of my former self thrown across water. I think I...

Premium Member The Afterlife of Leaves
The parade of endless colors is over, all the leaves are dead or dying scurrying about like frantic crabs back and forth across an icy-icy land clinging along the fence line of time swirling around cul-de-sac and doorways like gothic teens with little reason to shine ...but unchained from their master's paradise unchained from the dance of emerald lies. Soon these bronzed -arthritic...
