The End, the Beginning, Or An Escape

I see the fire burning in the distance For the end of a lifetime right here There is no way of knowing When the fire will burn for us I have no regrets I have no remorse I have lived for who I am I have loved who I chose I hated who I chose I have No more I feel it all around My skin is tingling I hear it the sound In the distance it calls There is a smell The stench of death The taste the terrible taste Of fresh dirt Was this the end A new beginning Or just an escape From life?

Hey Matt, stopped by for a visit. This is a deeply introspective piece from you. Do remember though that light will always chase away the darkness. Be Blessed, Neva

It is just a question that I put out there for thought.

It is a question without an answer for some and a different answer for many.
