What will happen when we die?I don’t know I don’t know either Will it be like other deaths, The same, indifferent, undistinguished When extinguished? Will we be whole when we awake On the other side? Will we still be we Or simply one? Will we remember our unity of separation The apartness that kept us together Through all these years? Or just blend And no longer be aware we were any different? When we die we may see What fractured us Two of us floating in blank space No ground beneath our feet No clothes upon our backs And in a small globe before us and between: A memory The event that gave shape to all our life Revealed to us at last. It may seem small then On the other side Maybe we will look at it And ask each other: We went through so much For that? When Life is so much bigger And the Eternal so much greater May be We will wonder Why that moment terrible Was able to define us For so long.
