Death and Beyond

Dark poem about the final rites and the afterlife

I found myself embracing new

State of parallel dimension,

Endearingly the inquest renew,

All the grief I had in mind.

Friends gather to mourn at the ground,

But when they walked away,

I still see your shadow in death and beyond,

Come with memories slow and softly.

Whose weakening power sustain respond

Await in silence the menacing fires,

Time will be kind in death and beyond,

Drumming out the sting in our prayers.

Riding high, back and forth and through the air,

Fleeting breathe hissing with broken pain,

Sorrowful chimes stained the atmosphere,

And we stood for traits of time to extinguish the flame.

In quiet abode, thoughts edge near death & beyond,

At the sight of brightly adorn flowers,

Feelings marooned with imposing myth found,

And spirits clings to life within the last rites.
