What It Feels Like To Be Dead

I felt  cold the moment my breath was gone,I tried to touch but my feel was blown away like the wind,what’s happening this I asked but this is what  it feels like  to be dead

I saw people,wailing,i saw my beloved from far behind ,I smiled then I tried to reach out but it all went away like an eclipse,this is what it feels like to be dead 

Gone on a journey with no hopes of return,left behind the treasures,I couldn’t take  along,I couldn’t eat my favorite cakes anymore,I couldn’t whisper in delight I guess this is what it feels like to be dead

It’s silent in here,i saw beings some had a smile,some flew around touching the dreams they once had, its cold again I guess this is what it feels like to be dead

Familiar journey

Man strives so hard, for what precisely?
To live a good life, and die afterwards,
What an Irony.
Man wants to survive for what precisely 
To hope that someday a dream would be valid 

But today I understood better. life is a journey of different destination, if  you work so hard and smart, and you  don’t make up so far and you die you would need to come back to life and the journey would begin all over again

For today a man dies tomorrow another is birthed the first cry of a child is the cry of uncertain vision, cry of desperation to make it so as not to come back to a familiar journey.
