Afterlife Poem by Claire Abbott

Blue skies,
Birds singing,
Sandy beach,
Roaring sunshine,
Challenging mountains,
Dry desert,
Deep valleys,
Azure sea,
Mountain streams,
Waterfall.
Rainbow.
Beuatiful place, it must be heaven.
So wondreful with tranquility.
You are so peaceful, so at ease.
Happiness fills your heart, body, soul and mind.
Nothing is better then where you are.
No-one is better then who you are with.
Life couldn't get better.
It's just how you imagined it would be.
It seems like you are barely there, barely alive.
Are you still alive?
You're not sure.
You have a body and a mind, a heart and a soul.
It can get damaged again and again,
but it doesn't. It won't.
You are dead. It is your afterlife.
You play how you want. You will always win.
Be happy, be proud. You are yourself for once, forever.
