Journey Back Home
The journey back home, death's final call,
A path we all must tread, one and all.
The road may be long, and winding too,
But home is where the heart is, and it's where we'll renew.
The memories we've made, and the love we've known,
Will be our guiding light, as we travel alone.
The journey may be hard, and the end uncertain,
But in death we find peace, a new chapter to begin.
The pain and sorrow, will fade in time,
As we're reunited with loved ones, in the afterlife sublime.
So let us not fear, death's final door,
For in the end, it's just a journey back to where we were before.
With open hearts, and souls unafraid,
We'll make the journey back home, and be forever saved.
Though we'll be missed, and tears will fall,
We'll be at peace, as we answer death's call.
About this poem
I aimed to convey the idea that death is a natural part of life and it is a journey that we must all take. Through the use of imagery and metaphor, I highlighted the idea that death is not something to be feared but rather embraced as it is a journey back to where we came from. The poem also emphasizes the idea that in death we find peace and reunion with loved ones in the afterlife. The poem also touches on the idea of memories and love being a guiding light in this journey, and that though it may be hard and uncertain, it is ultimately a path to peace and reunion. It is a reminder that death is a universal human experience, and it is a part of life. It is a reminder to cherish the time we have with our loved ones and to live life to the fullest. more »
