Life After Death

• Artist: Amora Nobis
• Description: The poem was written for my grandpa who died of cancer, but it was done before he passed. When I knew he wasn't going to make it, I poured all my hope for an escape from the hell he was living in, and this is how it came out. He was a devout Christian and believed he was going to heaven, which is where he rightfully belongs. Though he never heard it, I think my grandpa would've liked it. This one's for you, Papa.

Life After Death

The shadows weigh down,
but the light shines ahead.
This is the final chapter, the eulogy,
The end.

I’m rushing through the atmosphere,
Past the planets and the sun.
My life, what seemed so long but was oh so short,
Is now, at last, done.

I leave the suffering far behind,
Never to feel it, to have it, again.
My hideous shell of a body is gone;
All my faults at amends.

What’s left is only beauty,
What had been planned since the start.
Created in the image of perfection,
A true work of art.

As I ascend to the heavens,
I see those who beat me here:
Family, friends, former enemies too,
They all notice me, and they all start to cheer.

Never have I been this truly happy,
Not in this life that was, in truth, a mess.
And this is how I’ll remain forever-
In this perfect life after death.
