When I Die

When my life has finally left me and my last breath has been shed

And my body firmly dead

I shall hover near the body, download the scenes of this past life

Noting all minutest details rolling backwards past my eyes

I’ll store these scenes ‘til later when I can take the time to learn

What the lessons have to teach me and help me to discern

How I treated other people, made them happy, made them sad

Examine all my actions, both the good and the bad

Three days later I’ll lose interest as my focus moves away

From the world that I just left behind, there is no need to stay

For a lifetime in the life of man to God is just a day

And my soul as God on the wheel of life must move along its way

I’ll take the download with me as I move into first heaven

It’s the first stage in the afterlife, in number there are seven

Here I’ll see and feel the good things that to others I have brought

And revel in the feelings of the kindness that I wrought

I will store these in my seed atom so in future lives I’ll know

They’re the things that I must multiply for my souls’ conscience to grow

For the conscience is the souls’ voice that guides you day by day

That still small voice that warns you in what you do and say

When that’s done my view will shift then to the things that I did bad

To the hurt I did to people that left them feeling sad

I will feel their pain intensely, ten times worse when in this field

For I’ll be purely spirit now with no flesh for a shield

These painful lessons will imprint upon my seed atom as well

In some religions we are told our soul’s in everlasting hell

In the stages of the afterlife, this is your punishment in heaven

This is the third and the most painful of the total seven

The grim reaper now has visited with his scythe so I will know

Through natures law of consequence I will reap what I did sow

He has shown me all my misdeeds and caused me many tears

And this purgatorial experience may last for twenty years

When my suffering soul recovers and the pain has died away

And I’ve incorporated the lessons to never act this way

In future lives I’ll be a better man from these lessons I have learned

One step closer to perfection that my growing soul has earned

Now I can sleep, Oh peaceful sleep, a state of heavenly rest

I’ll dream the dreams I love in life, of things I love the best

All desires that my soul has yearned, not a thing I can’t create

In the Great Silence of the spirit world to help me concentrate

The colors are much brighter, the scent of flowers more sublime

The senses are much sharper, there is no sense of time

I will see all other people as pure souls just like me

And I’ll know we’re all evolving to the bliss of eternity

I will hear the mystic music of the planets as they pass

Like a thousand singing angels, heavenly peace has come at last

Every planet sings its own song, we’ve grown deaf to this below

But in this super consciousness we’re in the eternal flow

I’ll be with my friends and family and others whom I love

The ones who left before me and currently live above

There they wait with arms wide open and rejoice when I arrive

In the fourth stage where I now live, it’s utter joy to be alive

I’ve incorporated my lessons, I now recall my goal

And my mind begins to focus on further growth of my soul

I must make further preparations and my vision starts to clear

I feel I must keep moving forward for all my works done here
