What Happens When We Die

What Happens When We Die

A Poem by Alexa Tasch
"

This is what I want my afterlife to look like

"

All the lilies begin to sing

Petals dancing fantastically

Waters flowing majestically

To such a somber melody

As birds twitter tweet

That death is a wonderful treat

And warm rays of sun

Bathe you in golden river runs

Of starlight and wonder

While you're sleeping under

Soft rain is falling down

Everything cools under the sound

Of singing lilies

On starry nights

Away from all your foolish frights

Under the mist that follows rain

The world is now calm and tame

Here forever you will sleep

With the lilies of the deep

Sweetly they sing their lullaby

To the darkness in the sky

We all shall hear when we die

Author's Note

Alexa Tasch
I'm not a religious person, but if there is an afterlife, I'd like mine to be like this. I am aware that there is no real rhyme scheme and I don't care!

Free verse is my favorite so I really like this and this is a great mental picture of an afterlife except your missing something....blue pancake feast
