After Death

just the result of my mind wandering....

I am everywhere but I am nowhere at all...

                                                               

Pieces of me scatter the earth...

                                               Fertilizing it... 

                                                                   Nurturing it...

I am in the lush grass tickling your toes...

                                                             I am in the calm breeze titillating your scalp...

I am in the green leaves covering the trees

I am everywhere…

                          But I am nowhere at all

Some may look, the few who knew me...

                                                           Cherished me... 

                                                                                 Loved me...

But they shall not find me...

                                        My body has long since departed

But my soul lives on...

                               My spirit lives on...

                                                          My legacy lives on

After death...

                    I am everywhere…

                                              But nowhere at all...

Death is a truly debatable subject. In this poem, you've portrayed the scene of after death in a, funnily enough, beautiful and positive way which I loved! Thanks for sharing.

Wow great minds think alike huh ;) :) Thanks for stopping by. I thought it was an interesting take on death... In a way, it kind of puts your mind at ease about it
i don't know though death is a touchy subject

[Makrix Mottle]

Hmmm, yes it is a very touchy subject. It is, nonetheless, a very interesting subject.
