A Promise Of Eternity

By Aishwarya Verma

Sitting in the graveyard, she thinks:
Why is it it that leaving all the places behind this is the only place that gives solace, maybe because she likes spending time with the forgotten.

We mortals, we love people and we do everything in our power to be with them, then how is it that just the fact “they’ve stopped breathing” Makes us want to think about moving on and getting on with our lives.

What about the promises of spending an eternity together?
What about the connection that we had with the soul?
Or was there any connection with the soul at all?
Or does soul really exist or is it just a concept to calm the longing for one’s forgotten?
She does not know the answers to it, she keeps looking for answers but all she gets is this feeling of nothingness, this feeling of not belonging to this world or the other.
The other dimension? Does that exist?
And if it does how can we be there?
And what’s the guarantee of a successful journey to that dimension that is unknown to the earthly life.
Promises of spending an eternity together!
But have we actually tried sitting in silence maybe tried listening to what they have to say or is it they stop breathing and we move on.
Is this how it’s supposed to be done?

She has no answers to it but maybe one day in retrospect she will find herself and with that finding, there shall be answers to all these unanswered questions.

Till the time she’s gonna keep visiting the forgotten to tell them someone’s mourning their death, be it just a little someone, a stranger.
And is it a promise of eternity?
No… This is a promise of present, the promise that the souls made to each other.
