I once was afraid to die, <br />fearing only that which is unknown, <br />but then I came to realise, <br />It's the final journey home. <br />Where ever that may be for you, <br />but for me It's just the beginning, <br />I'll move on to the astral plain, <br />with my entire soul singing. <br />Forty days I'll wait, <br />until I again see light, <br />then I'll get to chose, <br />the parentage thats right. <br />For me to return to the living world, <br />trying to keep the balance, <br />as we all know we should. <br />Then I shall continue, <br />upon the path I chose, <br />looking for enlightenment, <br />pure as a thornless rose. <br />I search only for wisdom, <br />finding beauty in all, <br />even the most abhorrent evil, <br />standing fierce and tall. <br />For without that evil, <br />there would be no good, <br />you might not see yourself, <br />this concept so misunderstood. <br />For every act of kindness, <br />is balanced with murder and death, <br />so heed these words I speak, <br />before your final breath. <br />For it will be yourself, <br />who decides your ultimate fate, <br />and decide upon the journey, <br />your soul will undertake.<br /><br />Peri Morgan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/after-death-8/
