Back to Life Again

i know what happen after death
look at the vapour in the sky
it has come all the way
from the land, the river, the sea
and it takes quite a while
with the right condition
for it to fall down to the land
river and sea again

the water falls many thousand
metres down, and trek many
thousands more before it joins
the sea and the ocean again

that's what we all will be when
we die - whether it is going up
floating in the sky, falling down
or trekking to the ocean and sea

it just takes the right condition
before we go back to ourselves again
but sure, we will come to life again
be it a fish swimming in the sea
or a bird cruising through the sky
