A Deathly Mystery

Death comes in many forms
It has many faces
Could be anywhere
Anything

It could be fast and thoughtless
Don't know what has happened
Until it's too late

Death can be slow and painful
An agonizing waiting game
Watching the Darkness cover your eyes forever

Staring out yet seeing nothing
A bright light?
A door?

What is it?
Such a Deathly Mystery

Such a darkness, never seeing the light of understanding. Mysterious until it wraps you in it's cold embrace.
