* * *
I was standing on the high building
I was ready to jump and fly
I was waiting for the God’s meeting
That named briefly by a word “die”.
* * *
It was just a usual night
When I slowly faded away
I always will live behind
I’ll stay alive today
And as no surprise
As you would be able to see
In the light of sunrise
The morning without me
The morning without me
Nothing in this world has changed
Except one more stone on the cemetery
Not even noticed by men
Because our Lord has arranged
That meeting to see me again
I was flying among the clouds
I was trying to look behind
I saw my former life in doubts
All the things I have not done right
But I did not see God or devil
All the fears that Bible gave
I was far away from kindness and evil
I was dead because I’ve lost my faith
And as no surprise
As you would be able to see
In the light of sunrise
The morning without me
The morning without me

This is a very thought provoking poem. People do not like to think of the afterlife where nothing exist. The thought is too painful, and to the subconscious even Hell is a better option. Though I believe, in this life we choose what the afterlife will hold for us, whether it is divine and beautiful or cruel and agonizing. Life begins with the "Divine Light of the Spirit" and we will determine if that spirit grows or fades. It is a free choice..... All evil proceedes from the heart of man, too bad he cannot as readily conceive a world of love, peace, and goodwill. We must forgive, love and find peace here where all things are tangible. Maintain the faith in order to realize our hopes for things unseen in afterlife.
I truly enjoyed your poem and I look forward to reading more of your poetry. I hope you have a most wonderful and Happy New Year!

Thank you Sue! This poem was inspired because of my sad feelings, I was feeling unhappy and lonely by the time it was written and also I tried to describe my philosophical point of view about death/life question. I agree that people just do not want to accept that there is no afterlife at all, neither do I. Because of that specific lens through which I see this world. I just listen to what seems right to me, what produces some kind of harmony inside me, but also I use logical facts from what I know about this world.
“I was dead because I’ve lost my faith” – this is the key sentence in the poem. It was not explained very well in the verse but I try to explain my position now. Under “loosing my faith” I mean loosing faith in Life, under this term I understand everything that exists, visible and invisible, what we can feel or register somehow and what we can not…
I do not believe in death as a final end of everything, also I do not believe in Hell as an eternal punishment… I could admit that we have to pay for our sins in the afterlife, but I don’t think that it’s gonna be eternal payment… I suppose that our life is one little step amongst many others on the ladder of eternal development…
As you noticed, this poem was written to provoke to reader to think about his/her own position in the question… and I guess the goal was achieved.
Best wishes,
Tanya
