Such Is The Afterlife Poem by James McLain

The after life while living alive is filled with the essence
Of you,
Burning hot I have lived and in death I have walked the sun.
Leaving life have you laughed and cried with both as one?
While loving you and only you makes it harder to leave a world
Unseen untill all arrive.

Loosing you is not loss but to see across the wide stream, a river
Is made the ocean is lost to the sea.
Green is a babe in the bush that is soft with green leaves and
Happy in life while knowing of death, there's no shame.
Faith is not fear and fear is not faith to those rare few whom come,
Some but few know when it's time to leave, leaving love behind.

Hard or soft is the shell inside of this shell made of you and big
Or small, unseen in the eye's of your soul.
You may if you wish while alive travel there back and forth with
A mind that is strong enough to be.
After life, life after death there are those that believe this belief
Is called faith after life that all leave.

Eye's open are closed odd is this to me, believing that you know
What you see.
Loving the sea the waves speak to me and each grain of sand is
A world where you are at peace.
