Afterlife
a Poem By Raquel Swann
Somewhere beyond the clouds
Where dreams come to life
There is a place for people
Like me and you.
Perhaps we don’t have
To travel too far to find peace.
Is it possible to experience such pleasures
Here in our earthy vessels.
Or does one have to pass into
The ethereal realm.
These questions should
Not be pondered.
What’s an afterlife
Without a before.
This afterlife I speak of
May be closer than I think.
It begins with a void
An emptiness
A desire
A thought
An action
And a conclusion.
My bags are packed.
