What will happen when I die?
When I Surrender and close my eyes.
Which picture will my mind cling to?
my parents, childhood… thoughts of you..
Tell me that there is no fear,
no shame in knowing the end is near.
Question, answers I thought I knew,
truth is ‘future’ means something new.
What will happen when I die?
Will long gone folk stop, or maintain pride?
Why should I stop whilst on this page?
My chapter burned, feathers caged.
There is so much I wish to do,
that forever comfort I thought I knew.
They say your home is by your heart,
but I’m not sure my heart can chart
a plane or boat, a train, or car
so how can it follow me through the dark?
What will happen when I die?
Which final thought will leave my mind?
I guess I’ll never really know,
But death’s a story, we’ll all be told.
