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
