"I get silly past 11 pm (The tears leak down my cheeks, and words flow like a river from my heart)" -Me talking to a friend online


Sometimes late at night

When thunder and rain sing outside

Like a chorus of gods

I think of death

And the world after it

What is it like?

Is it quiet and strange?

Like diving too deep into a lake

Does it hurt?

Like a slightly too hot shower

I like to believe, in my way of believing

That it is beautiful

A world where the evil and unkind are swallowed 

Into dark depths of cold

And the kind walk

Over fields of fresh snow

And pure white skies

Where it is impossible to tell up from down

Because every direction sparkles like jewels

And wind whispers through your hair

Like the touch of an old friend 

And you are never cold

And never in pain

For the one you loved mosts hand is in yours

And you walk that snow covered field forever

Eternally at peace


The author's comments:

I got the inspiration for this poem while I was walking hand in hand  through a field of fresh snow with my friend, and I mentioned that it was what I hoped the afterlife was like. I went home and wrote it, so I dedicate this poem to my friend Ana. If I am to walk through fields of snow for and pure white skies, it's your hand I'd want in mine.
