When Death Comes
I want to believe that when I die,
my soul will see a tunnel of light.
And rising in its spiral embrace,
Angels will take away all my fears.
God's everlasting love will anoint
and sanctify my eternal soul.
And bathed in His grace and purity,
I'll be free of temptation and sin.
Exhalation will define Death's touch,
as it transports my immortal soul.
And instantly, I'll be in heaven,
assured of my immortality.
Cutting earthly ties, my spirit will
slip away from my mortal body.
And cradled in the arms of rapture,
I'll bask amidst the glory of God.
I'd like to believe all the above,
yet, unfortunately, I do not.
I believe that all life is finite,
and when Death comes, life merely blinks out.
