A JOURNEY WE ALL MUST EMBARK ON- DEATH (A farewell poetry for a Steemian who passed away)

Skin to bone, ashes to dust.
All is debris.
Blown away in the wind,
Never to be gathered again.
That’s all that it is in human.
Once the breath of life is gone,
The second journey begins.
A journey into darkness or light.
Alone we all must go.
No companion into the shadows.
Into the edge of night, a lone trip.
Everyone is left alone,
A mandatory contract signed from above.
Old and young,
The Rich and the pauper.
Like Lazarus and the Rich man we all must go.
Let the light guide you as you go.
Your memories might linger on,
In the land of the living stories will be told.
Of the valiant and the cowardly.
Nobody gets left behind.
It is appointed but different time for a soul.
Till the culling of the saint,
We all must go alone.
Either eternity or endless damnation,
Left for every sojourner to decide.
A journey into light or into the abyss.
Where the light never reach.
Once life is gone out of your body.
Another journey starts,
Nights and day, morning and night.
Right to left, left to right.
We all must wander in the next journey.
Choose a destination while on earth,
Before the living breath goes away from you.
It is a road untraveled.
Weep not for it for it will surely come,
Death is always around the corner,
But not taking all at will,
Except you’re your time is up.
It is a journey we all must take,
Whether we like it or not,
Choose the destination you desire.
For the next journey after death.
Which comes like the middle of the night,
When we all least expect it.

REST IN PEACE ONOS!
