Life?
Life
Life?
What is life?
Life
Are we really even sure?
Life?
Do we know what it is?
Life- I live cry laugh.
Is this what life is?
I live to laugh to laugh to live.
Where am I? Can I find my way back?
It’s black.
Why can’t I wake up?
Very silent,
Those silent tears I cry are my death panel,
Above and beyond, the light of the second life.
I move like a bird-
So vast, so quiet.
Without a peep I enter the second life.
I see my grandfather who had passed before, still wearing his favorite sweater.
I enter the gate of Heaven.
I roam the world.
I roam the streets,
Quietly in my own little world.

I think the beginning could use something a little more, but this poem gets really good as it progresses :)
Thanks so much for sharing this, and keep up the good work, I look forward to reading more of your poetry :)
