In Dilemma

When a soul bids you adieu,
A farewell of the most tragic, lasting sort,
What do you feel?

When all is left behind,
Body, health, wealth and family,
Do you think you can comprehend,
The multitudes, the kaleidoscopic emotions..
That at times wreak havoc in your person?

When ashes are all that remains,
Of the person you once knew in flesh and blood,
Do you feel happy for the peace the soul is said to receive?

Or do you feel sad for your loss,
And the ambiguity of their state?
