Summary/Abstract: The article briefly presents the theoretic providences of M. Heidegger, J. Ratzinger and A. Maceina about subsistence, mortality and afterlife. These providences are closely connected with death as poetized by L. Andriekus. Death in Andriekus poetry is not an absolutely senseless thing. The subsistence of the poet subject does not cease after his death. It continues in afterlife. There the poet subject waits for the Great account when all the decedents will be raised in order they can continue travelling to everlasting life in the face of God. Thus this mundane life of the poet subject already is being projected into everlasting life. Based on Christ’s death and resurrection, death becomes a projection to an everlasting life. That is a hope which upholds Andriekus’ lyric subject, who in mundane travelling, prepares for death and confrontation with the beyond.
