Death Becomes Us

The shadows entice All who are present Feel the vibrations That encase our lungs Black spills throughout here Tainted by night We drift among Bleak entities Pausing for air Threats of bile Stir inside Lifeless souls We are No more Gone.

Eventually, we all die. That we do know. But I strongly believe we have a soul, an essence that is untouched and perfect---that lives on and on and on. Everyone says death is the end of it all--maybe it's a newer beginning. Either way, we are mysterious and spiritual beings, and should not give up, but marvel at who we are and how we came to be. But you have captured so well what is often the feeling of us all--at some time or another. Wonderfully done. Regards, Sara
