Songs to the Afterlife

Excruciating pain in my body,
My lungs burn,
My head cracks,
And it all seems to be over;
So I must be shaken;
Yet I’m not.

I feel the pain of a lifetime,
That will blast any moment,
Until I fall into dysfunction,
Existence is difficult…
It should be;
It’s not.

I saw her eyes filled with tears,
The melody that flowed in her voice,
Her sorrow was a song; an emotion; a joy,
And she kissed my hand as I left.

She looked at me with innocent eyes
Clutching onto the rabbit I gave her;
And her voice was the harmony of beauty;
Life is joy.
And she asked if I would return.
I lied.

He looked at me with pure hatred,
And I with love;
We knew that we were leaving a promise un-kept,
But I believe it was time,
Maybe the promise will live on.
And he sung the silent song,
Of the bond of a son and his father,
The words, that was lost in ego.

She opened her delicate eyes,
Looking for the first time; maybe the last;
And I touched her soft flesh,
Her tiny palms,
And she emanated harmony,
Of a new life, and of wonder;
And my head spun with mirth;
I rose and yet fell;
But I was undiminished.

I remember my last dinner,
The candles lit before us,
As we sat in the shadows,
Thank the almighty, for not the food,
Nor the family,
But for love.
And we laughed;
We cried;
And the doldrums of tomorrow,
Was second;
For Love.

Love beyond family,
Love beyond innocence,
Love beyond memories,
Love beyond wrong,
Love beyond sorrow,
Love beyond Death.

Liberation

Outside; the glory of light,
Bathed in the radiant energy of the sun,
Eyes closed, relishing the warmth,
It’s all that can be relinquished,
A sort of purity,
Transcend.

The air whistles by,
Wafts of warmth from a loving heart,
Eterntia; over time… Beyond time.

And these leaves drift upon the wind,
Like a flutter in the sky,
A disassociation, from a bond,
And flying away, on the whims of nature.

And the breeze is a whisper,
From a distant source,
Bathing my mind, enveloped in perpetual epiphany,
Thought… is pure
Thought … is love.

Breaking free, of all bonds,
Transcending all dreams,
Farther up, Farther in.
