Where do we go
when we die
Do we become
the night riders
in the sky
tracking and tracing
the star where
we were once seeded
Do we return
to the place
of our soul’s origination
or do we travel
the galactic highways
to unexplored destinations
Who designed
the cosmical maps
that will show us
the coordinates
navigating us
to our next adventure
Will I see you again
in a flash of a lifetime
Or do we share DNA
of the same Starseed
meant to bloom together
more than once
What is this vastness
that is holding
the essence of you
Whispering
your love codes
into my heart
It makes me wonder
Where do we go
when we die
As a child, I remember lying in my bed wondering about why we’re here on this planet. At the same time feeling melancholy. Longing for something I could not describe. Throughout my life, I’ve kept this longing while feeling a sense of not belonging here. A sense of loneliness but not being alone.
