Afterlife

 Once, just for once, imagine if this is the other side.

The heaven or hell you dreaded, 

A place you believed to exist (or not) 

Because your faith said, 

There was something good beyond.

A reward for your virtues, a punishment for your sins. 

What if it's just this, your world of good and bad? 

No other repercussion of your actions exists.

What if this is the place and you don't know it yet?

It just gets worse and worst, doesn't it?

That place you thought of often, 

Your perfect parallel universe, 

A loop of the same lives. 

The seeking doesn't end.

Then, what is the meaning of life?

Is it just to reach the end?

You keep asking, till you can't anymore. 

Your head feels light,

Everything is meaningless. 

Silence fills the void; nobody answers.

Life

 How many times do you die; 

Before you are truly dead? 

Your body and mind work 

Like people expect them to work 

But you don't think before you act, 

Or say or feel anymore.

You live like a habit, you don't live anymore.

How many of us can say we truly lived

To know ourselves more than what 

Others expect us to be? 

To do the things we want to?

How many can say we truly lived 

Before we died?

~ Suranya

By Chance

 The rain and the sunshine 

How everything in the universe aligns 

To make us meet at the perfect time 

We praise it on fate and stars.

The particles that we are made of, 

The journey and the joy of life 

The reason and rhyme for love 

It all comes down to why.

And all I can say, dear friend,

Is that nothing is planned

Yet chaos is a system 

Beyond our minds.

You and I are like particles. 

Expanded and contracted with time 

A part of this vast universe 

Insignificant in the divine.

We try in vain to understand 

The mysteries that we take by chance 

As a sudden coincidence or divine intervention. 

But nothing in this universe is by chance.
