Bittersweet Wisdom

Death, in its unhurried wisdom ends all doubt and sorrow. It is a lasting remedy for all illness, insecurity and loneliness. The finality of it ends all pain, with a sweetness not otherwise known. It's sweetness is known only by those, who, in their passing, have smelled its fragrance. The pain of those left behind has a fragrance all its own, a bittersweet emanation that assails the senses with its pungency. The strength of the void, left by the passing of one loved seems endless. Time and faith, working in unison, will lessen the strength and fill the void.
