Afterlife Poems
Final Thoughts
by Alana Alpres
As I stand before the gates of death,
And take my final, trembling breath
I'm filled with fear and deep regret
For all the things I left unsaid
I try to find my way to faith,
But no matter how I pray,
I remain an atheist at heart
A heathen creature with no god,
And now, as death draws near,
I am afraid.

Rebirth
by airatmaninravi AiR
The waves of the ocean come and go
After a dark night, the sun will glow
The Law of Cycles operates everywhere on earth
And so, after we die, we come back in a Rebirth
What is the cause of this human birth?
What was the reason we came to earth?
We didn't decide where and when we were born
It was our Karma that sounded the horn

Valencia The Secret Keeper
by Christine Kuruvilla
Credits:@angelgaven
Life she led in search,
Of an unknown secrect,
One for which Valencia had travelled,
Across the seas and endless days.
Till it ended- And there she lay,
Silent, dead and on the other side of the void,
Afterlife opened her arms, revealing her secrets.

Chika Anibueze's Journey to heavenly shores
by Joseph Ogbonna
Chika the angel in the distant clouds.
Treads slowly along the utopic path.
With eternity's splendour in your grip,
you were awoken by melodious sounds,
played by celestials who guided your trip.
You fled divinity's eternal wrath,
to dwell in realms of laughter infinite.
Those on earth have said a final goodnight,
desiring someday to share in this bliss,
when we like you shall earn the Saviour's kiss.

Appellate Jurisdiction
by Marianne Moore
Fragments of sin are a part of me.
New brooms shall sweep clean the heart of me.
Shall they? Shall they?
When this light life shall have passed away,
God shall redeem me, a castaway.
Shall He? Shall He?
