Beyond life

Beyond life
P K Routray
Horizon beyond the ocean
is neither the end of horizon
nor the end of the ocean
but the limit of the human imagination.
Similarly the death is not the end of the a soul
which keeps a mortal body live and in control.
The body is made of five lifeless elements
earth, air, fire, ether and water as the constituents.
They go back to their mother elements after death
when the soul leaves them with last breath
Religions differ,
philosophers falter
to define the voyage of the soul of a man, the mortal,
but are certain that the soul is immortal
As per their earthly deeds, bodily done
ultimately a soul either goes to hell or heaven.
In-between from death to final destination
its journey, the path are still in confusion and uncertain.
