Where We Go When We Die
Give me a clue, a hint if you will
About where we go when we die
Is it somewhere beyond our wildest dreams,
Or somewhere within reach
How does one know when they leave
Do they remorse on past experiences,
Or dwell in the future?
Would you get to say goodbye to ones you love?
Or move avast forgetting of importance?
Is time irrelevant?
Does it slip through the cracks of meaning, scattered upon a tinted pane
Demolished into grains of sand
Singular specks thrown into the ocean of moments
Or perhaps, we remember our life
Acknowledge our accomplishments for they were the very things that kept us going
Or maybe, we have to let go
Let our pride and predigest be thrown to the wind
Watch them drift, as they will only be remembered by some
A sliver of our soul might be left behind when our bodies are removed
While they are driven in a black car or gingerly rested in a casket
Diminishing slowly left ajar
So, give me a clue a hint if you will about where we go when we die

The question of death is one of great importance, for we haven't yet found the answer. Perhaps we never will. So, that is why I wrote something to subtle my own questioning on the subject.
