Afterlife

Trapped inside the dark abyss
of unrelenting consciousness.
Identity with mental kiss
as senses disappear.

So alien, in silence looms
the Godless void beyond the veil,
as darkness all around consumes
the light of life away.

But in the lonely midst of space,
within this very mental core
where reason and my mind embrace
I find peace ever more.
