Mysterious Box

Answers to the universe  
Lie within this mystery  
Once inside there's no reverse  
The course of fates destiny  
   
The smell of earthy pine  
Has me fully intrigued
This mysterious box is mine  
And I cannot critique  
   
Allured by temptation    
I can't wait to be inside  
My resting place expectation    
For the moment when I die  
   
A home away from home  
My peaceful eternity  
A doorway into the unknown  
Will I still exist internally  
   
Questions to life's mystery  
The answers will I find  
Or will I ultimately be  
More ashes left behind  
   
Am I a blip on this timeline  
A small fraction of infinite  
Or a victim of an intricate design    
Of an endless thought trajectory    
   
I will never ever know  
Until the moment I'm inside    
And I'm buried 6 feet below    
My mysterious box has arrived
