What's Out There?

What’s out there?
In the dark
Where my eyes can not see
All alone
You sit and wait for me

Tell me a story
Of secrets untold
Of the quiet spell
Our lifelines foretold

What’s out there?
Hushed secrets
No human can know
Tell me
So I can be ready when it’s my time to go

Tell me a story
Of secrets untold
Of the quiet spell
Our lifelines foretold

What’s out there?

Following the death of a good friend of mine, I began seriously contemplating what was after death... and in a very emotional moment I scrawled out this little poem in a way to vent out my confusion.
