black out

I entered a dark tunnel and heard the sparrows, welcoming me to their gardens.
It was for the first time that their singing turned into words.
I walked around, my legs we're not feeling heavy like they did before.
Actually the first time I let "I" loose in the situation presented.
How could it be that my soul ended here.
seeing myself between the sheets, while being here un-fulfilled?
When I start to think the fog draws newer landscapes to my liking's.
My old will is trying hard to do whatever pleases me.
I hear a whispering voice that it will not end not now in my full potential.
I see a golden apple in front of me.
and a snake eats a hole through it's surface.
his skin starts to shed with a gloomy light.
His face turns into a sun, telling me to find a gate.
Then I will need you to be the key snake!
So hear my plea, and open the door for me.
The snake crawled out and said: follow me!
I hurled behind him crawling through bushes slithering through.
My skin was no longer pale, it was light green and gloomy.
But I stepped through the gates and reached the end.
the end of my mortal life.

About this poem:
Mythologies reach other ends after a downfall and many nowadays religions have similar endings of a mortal life.
But what is next, why can't this be a suitable way for an afterlife.
will there be an afterlife, really is a room that is dark not just a room to sleep in?
