A Voice from Beyond

“When death comes we may only feel

our mortal life was never real.

We awake as if from a dream

into spiritual self-esteem.

We feel that we are home again;

escaped from all that is profane.

That is when we first realize

our self-consciousness never dies.

As part of cosmic consciousness

we are engulfed in happiness.”

That is what my Uncle George said

as a ghost standing by my bed.

If i approach that end with grace,

death may seem like a friendly place.
