Life after Death

Is there life after death?
It is a million dollar question,
In every bodys mind.
Bent on to unravel the mystery,
I meditated deeply day after day.
To my pleasant surprise, one day,
God appeared in dazzling radiance,
Moved by my severe penance!
Well, my son, I grant your prayer;
I shall reveal unto thee the Truth,
As a special case;
Hold my hand firmly, He commanded.
In a fraction of second,
My body became weightless.
I floated like a feather in the air,
At speed unimaginable,
Fast thru glittering and colourful,
Heavenly bodies;
A delightful and breathtaking view!
Shortly in the timeless zone we landed,
Near an enticing and spread out garden.
The exuberant and profusely blossomed
Flowers in vibrant hues,
Fountains dancing to melodious tunes,
Could be seen wherever I would turn.
Celestial and mellifluous music wafted thru
The subtly perfumed gentle breeze.
The ambience was relaxing and refreshing;
No! Never in our mundane world,
You would find an experience, so exciting.
On a closer examination,
I saw tinny and shadowy figures,
(They looked odd and faintly visible.)
Here and there, effortlessly floating,
In slow and graceful motion.
Some lay peacefully like a babe in mothers lap,
A few rested merrily under radiant trees.
I was perplexed and astounded,
On seeing a sight, inconceivable!
Excited I turned towards God,
Reading my mind, He explained,
The shadowy figures you see,
Are the souls of men
Who by their virtue of good deeds
Are blessed and accommodated here,
A paradise, if you may prefer to call it.
They are free from misery and mortality
And from pain and sorrow.
Live here in perpetual happiness
And in eternal peace.
Enthralled by this world of fantasy,
Here, for ever I longed to stay.
But my Guide took me away swiftly,
Ignoring my wish resolutely.
The onward journey this time was
Through dark tunnels,
Hot and suffocating,
And we landed near
What appeared to be a haunted valley.
Steaming hot water flowing thru.
A precariously hanging bridge
Connected the other side of the valley,
Where hutments like dwellings
Were sighted here and there.
I saw to my horror and disbelief,
A large and countless shadowy figures,
Trying to rush thru the bridge,
To reach the only habitat on the other side.
In the process, many fell down
Thru hidden trap doors in the bridge.
The cries they made in writhing pain,
As they were consumed by boiling tide,
Reverberated all thru the valley
And sent shivers up my spine.
I trembled in great fear
To think of the diabolic punishment
In store for the tainted souls.
Only a handful reached the other side.
(May be, the lesser tainted souls?)
When I turned to God,
I saw Him in sarcastic grin,
And vanished into air thin.
I was hurled down the space;
Descending at alarming speed,
Landed on the earth with a thud.
When I opened my eyes,
I found myself lying on the floor.
(A fall from my bed, in the nightmare?)
Before I recover from the shock,
From nowhere I hear a divine voice,
Dont waste your time and energy,
To find out what happens after death,
Youll come to know the moment,
You cast off your corporal frame.
Perform your task well,
Guard your soul from evil,
By your good deeds and virtue.
Lead a righteous life on the earth
And fear not the inevitable death.
