What is life after death?

What is life after death?

Is it a nod after a million denials?

A place filled with all the things we once desired,

And we are led to believe we get what we deserve.

What is life after death?

Is it a family reunion?

Healthier now, back to dealing with souls of the past,

And we feel like just another day alive.

What is life after death?

Is it suspension of fears?

Maybe we can now swim without floaters,

And dive into that love we drowned into, when alive.

What is life after death?

Is it a compelling larger-than-life fantasy?

Maybe like a huge cone of ice cream that does not melt,

Or a heart full of love that does.

What is life after death?

Is it life again?

Maybe we are born into families we've hated the most,

Where we learn their ticking clogs and the cycle of being humbled continues.
