Forest of After

The lonely after-life of a deceased human.

Dissimilar stones of brown and gold,

Lining the path of my footsteps home,

Clenching a long twig within my palm,

Dragging behind me it made a track of it’s own.

The rattling leaves calling my name,

Beg me to join them, take part in their game,

Where we’ll swing from treetops only to fall,

Let loose, it’s Autumn if I shall recall.

Light was slipping further and further away,

Nighttime was ready to overcome this dull day.

Stars awaiting the signal to remain unshackled,

I wish to become their savior in this kingdom of after.

Eyes fading deep into weariness, praying for rest,

Tough labor inching to be part of my test,

Loneliness consumed me and nature abused me.

Life after death, the mortals it’s lacking.

I'm glad I passed your way tonight. Thanks for writing this nicely written piece of poetry. I'm glad I read it.

I am amused by the imageries you have created, and then the concept, after life of a deceased human... The second stanza is my favorite, and somehow captures a beautiful scene of nature and human life connected and playing together... Very well done frnd...

good imagery well written

[Leran Vakem]

A very good poem. I like the road you walked with the reader guiding them. The idea of the here after, will never be proven. Only on the day when we make that journey ourselfs will we know. Well done I really enjoyed this one very much.
