End Of A Cycle* Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

Death is not the End of a cycle

nor this life is the only life we own

As a fetus expects to come out of the womb

so we'll come out from this physical tomb

and emerge to a life in a new home

Although we don't know what is life after this

Like the fetus isn't sure

after the cutting of the umbilical cord


we don't know what will happen next

after the breaking of our silver cord

So there is life after death


Same as there is life after birth

but wherever and whenever will it be

just enjoy this unknown years of journey

~Champs Ulysses Gubantes Cabinatan
