After All

After All

 

If we return to the existence from which we came

Having been exposed to the lights of another place

Where we longed for what was lost amidst great pain

The air we breathe was not meant to last in this state 

 

Where time was never our friend as eternity cry

Tears fall when we leave for another existence 

Hope begs that we will miss all that was and come home

Where to once again join in our eternal presence

 

Where having a life to call our own like no other 

Time a transition from clouds of gray to lights of an eternal day

Where so much awaits us to uncover 

In beauty for now ashes, why wait in this or delay

 

When this night of time gives way to a day of endless delights

Where all like flowers bloom eternally a spectacle 

In bodies of glorious lights, we take our flights

Nothing to deter us as once upon a time, it was our only obstacle

Here where the sun shines differently and set as though kissing the horizon, where coral reefs blooms, surf greets the sand, musical rendition of waves pounding the shore. A salty mist is in the air and the verdant beauty of nature abounds everywhere. Learn more.
